Teaching & Creative Facilitation

Alongside my studio practice, I facilitate creative learning experiences that invite participants to explore storytelling, observation, and personal expression through art making. My approach combines inquiry based discussion with hands on experimentation using accessible and sensory materials such as collage, found objects, clay, and textiles.

I design sessions that encourage curiosity, reflection, and play, helping participants engage with art in ways that feel welcoming rather than intimidating.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe museums and art spaces should invite participation as much as observation. Many people feel intimidated by art institutions, but when they are given the opportunity to create in response to what they see, art becomes personal, joyful, and accessible. My goal as a facilitator is to create environments where people feel safe experimenting with materials, sharing perspectives, and discovering that their own experiences belong in conversation with art.
