A fine arts educator with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania, I have taught drawing, painting, and abstract theory across multiple institutions for over two decades. Currently serving as Adjunct Professor at several universities and community colleges, I specialize in foundations drawing, figure drawing, and introductory fine arts courses. My teaching emphasizes technical skill development, creative project design, and fostering visual literacy. I maintain an active professional fine arts practice, producing and exhibiting work on a yearly basis. My academic background includes early teaching experience at the University of Pennsylvania, where I designed and delivered projects for undergraduate students. Across my teaching career, I have worked with diverse student populations, balancing foundational instruction with encouragement of individual artistic voice and conceptual growth.
