I feel it’s crucial to integrate your own artistic practice, fostering a safe environment for student risk-taking (viewing failure as learning), connecting art to students' lives ("the why"), encouraging critical engagement over just technique, and embracing collaboration and constant renewal, treating teaching itself as an artistic practice.

Monotype Magic: Intro to One-of-a-Kind Printmaking

Monotype Magic: Intro to One-of-a-Kind Printmaking 

In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the playful world of mono-printing. Using ink, everyday objects, and a healthy dose of spontaneity. You'll experiment with mark-making, color layering, and ghost prints, discovering how happy accidents and unexpected results are part of the magic. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to be surprised. You'll leave with a collection of original, one-of-a-kind artworks and maybe a new creative obsession.

On Faith Matters Podcast

I was honored to join Aubrey Chaves, Tim Chaves and The Lisa Show's Lisa Valentine Clark—comedian, actor—to talk about creativity, making, and the deeper work that happens when we create.

Both of us have spent our lives making things—in front of audiences, in studios, and in classrooms. Through those experiences, I’ve come to believe that creativity does sacred work inside us. It gives form to what we’re wrestling with. It helps clarify what we think and feel. It helps us metabolize the unexpected. And maybe most importantly, it invites us into deeper presence with our lives.

For me, making art has never just been about the finished piece. It’s about the process of paying attention, asking questions, and allowing something meaningful to emerge.
