 Teaching artists are truly the best! I may be biased, but my respect for those who nurture creativity in others runs deep. As a teaching artist, I’ve seen firsthand how sharing knowledge enriches both students and instructors, enhancing our collective artistic journeys.
I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming artist talks, workshops, and mini retreats!

Introducing my latest piece, Orchestra of the Earth (mixed media, 48" x 36"). This work explores the dynamic processes of sublimation and deposition, reflecting the interconnected relationship within the natural world.  Artist Residency
February 1-28 Leonardo Museum, SLC, UT Mandala Workshop Saturdays: February 1,8, 15, 22 10 AM - 2 PM No experience necessary Thanks to: https://theleonardo.org/ https://www.artesmexut.org/  Sometimes, things don't go as planned, and that's okay. The creative journey isn't always a straight path to a fairytale ending. As creatives, our true strength lies in our ability to embrace our missteps and learn from them. Each twist and turn offers a chance for innovation or the courage to let go and start fresh.
Remember, there's no single right or wrong way to navigate this journey - what matters is that you follow your own unique compass. Trust in your process, and let your creativity guide you to unexpected and beautiful places. Heart and Soul, mixed media, 24" x 18" |
