Available to hire
I am a visual artist and educator with a long-standing passion for teaching and creating. Over the years I have taught art across K-12 and worked in photography and printmaking, always exploring hands-on approaches and mixed media.
Currently based in St. Augustine, FL, I am seeking opportunities in teaching or visual art creation, including studio work, community projects, and collaborative ventures. I value mentorship, creative collaboration, and helping students develop technical skills and personal expression.
