Experience
In addition to having private tuition clients, I currently work with Studio in a School and Abrons Arts Center, which are two organizations that specialize in bringing trained and experienced teaching artists to public schools that wouldn't typically have means of accessing high quality arts education. Most of my students are children between the ages of 4 and 14, but I have knowledge and experience with working with young adults and adults alike. Given my own education and the particular way I approach my own artistic practice, I feel privileged to be in a position to help others understand what it means to be a contemporary artist, and how art can help us access deep self and world knowledge in a way no other subject can. I specialize in multiple different media and materials, including but not limited to: Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Illustration

Hobbies
A huge passion of mine is Thai Kickboxing, otherwise known as Muay Thai. I had found this sport in 2016 and been training since, and the community and health benefits of it have changed my life and happiness completely. Aside from this I thoroughly enjoy reading about animals, philosophy, and mythology. I'm drawn to texts related to Hinduism and Buddhism, and folk/fairy tales. I love learning about ancient traditions of storytelling and these inevitably find their way into my own work and way of viewing the world.
