My artistic practice is intertwined with my teaching; they are fundamentally connected.

By experiencing the challenges of achieving accurate proportions, the patience needed for intricate work, and the choices involved presenting final pieces, I ensure my teaching remains grounded in real-life experiences rather than just theory.

After years of mentoring others, "Rooted" marked my return to my own creative voice in 2025.

Each piece I create from scratch reignites my passion for art. My practice enriches my teaching, as I share the discipline, patience, and vulnerability of the creative process with my students.
