Professional Expertise
15+ years working as a professional art instructor designing and implementing lesson
plans for students of all ages and abilities. Presently I’m a working artist creating mixed
media paintings for designers and staging companies for residential projects. The benefits I
can offer students in an art college is my multi-dimensional art experience, enthusiasm and help to
provide students navigation and support for their personal creative education.
What I do
I teach classes to students of all ages to learn about paintings and sculptures. My goals are to show
students to use various materials and mediums that give enduring artistic values allowing them to
relate knowledge acquired in the arts that give understanding of the world around them. I have
taught art history written components as well as field trips to art galleries. I organize necessary
products for classes and provide budgets to accommodate lesson plans. Keep materials organized
and current for use of classes.
How I work
Use my artistic knowledge to develop and implement innovative lesson plans that help provide
individual confidence and a self-directed vision of art forms. I have experience helping with
entering student grading and organize student files.
