I am primarily a high school teacher in the subjects of IB Visual Arts, Studio Arts and Graphic Design. However, I am also a workshop facilitator for adults in the subject of watercolor painting, a PR consultant for the HCMC Fine Arts Museum, and I am an IB Visual Arts Examiner for the IBO.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

​
In my experience as an arts educator and artist, I believe it is best to extend students’ experience of learning into authentic environments. In addition to classroom lessons, I am an avid promoter of gallery visits, guest lecturers and community gallery partnerships for my students. This teaching philosophy has led to confident students who are aware of the impact they can have on their peers, school and local community through their visual art.
