I work with teens and adults to collaboratively design and paint murals that reflect community ideals. Partnerships and participants include community centers, public schools, and public housing developments.
Paintings, prints and drawings; often made in connection to larger public art projects.
A life-long educator with experience teaching at the high school and college level, I develop and execute a range of visual art and STEAM classes and residencies.
