I have always adored a wide range of artistic styles and artists, from Monet’s impressionistic landscapes to Rauschenberg’s expressive collages. I enjoy working with many different media, including clay, watercolor, and acrylic paint, and I am especially drawn to combining these materials to create something unique and original. The more I experiment within the arts, the more my curiosity and fascination continue to grow. Early exposure to art and the creative process sparked my imagination and shaped my passion for creative exploration.
I believe that art is, at its core, an act of problem-solving. As a young artist, I discovered that with thoughtful guidance in technique and meaningful encouragement, I could create work that was both imaginative and original. Today, I find great joy in sharing my appreciation and passion for art with children, inspiring them to discover their own creative spark.
I hold a Master’s of Science in Art Education and a New York State Teaching Certification in Visual Arts (K-12). My undergraduate fine arts concentration was specifically in illustration and I am also a certified Educational Technology Specialist. I believe that in the 21st century, technology plays a powerful role in enhancing modern life, especially within the fields of art and design.
