Experience
I'm currently an Oakland based fine artist working in acrylics and watercolor on salvaged materials and canvas. I have an extensive background in youth development working with all ages in formal and informal settings-- mostly in after school programs and summer camps. After I graduated college, I spent two years living abroad in the Peace Corps and it was there I really fell in love with teaching art. I ran a series of art camps for my students in high school and middle school where I learned how to develop curriculum, break down techniques, and really help every kind of learner understand concepts. My favorite part of tutoring is celebrating when a student nails a technique they are trying to achieve. Currently, I live in Oakland and am embarking on a new professional path as an established artist. I'm excited at the prospect of tutoring and feel that my background in youth development, instruction, curriculum development, and people skills continue to make me an effective tutor. My specializations include portraiture, figure drawing, watercolor techniques, and various styles using acrylics. My personal art is highly influenced by urban and street art, and I am deeply inspired by a wide variety of muralists in the urban contemporary art scene today.
