MY TEACHING BACKGROUND
I have 9 years of experience teaching Art in a variety of contexts across all ages. My career as a teacher began as a graduate teaching assistant and later Post Graduate Teaching Fellow at the Museum school in Boston (SMFA - Tufts) in the Printmaking Department between 2011 and 2014. I came to love guiding students through new processes, sharing in their discoveries, and helping them to reach the next mental or technical level in their work. Since returning to my hometown of Houston in 2015, I have taught classes at Strake Jesuit HS, the Art League of Houston, and the University of Houston. I also headed the Printmaking Department at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston from 2016 through 2020. Group workshops I have conducted include guided visits to the MFAH prints and drawings collection, Professional Development Workshops for Alvin ISD Art teachers, private printing demonstrations for the Museum’s Education Department, and public talks, artist visits and demonstrations in conjunction with citywide events or local exhibitions. I have also conducted printmaking, painting, and collage workshops for High School classes. If you have a specific workshop idea or inquiry, or have specific questions regarding private lessons, please email me via the contact section of the website.
