As an artist and educator, I've built a career at the intersection of creativity and teaching, blending my artistic pursuits with a passion for guiding others. My experiences as a travel sketch artist have not only shaped my practice but also led to recognition in Artists Magazine and the creation of The Perfect Sketchbook, a venture born to meet the needs of travel artists. Through teaching, I inspire students of all ages to embrace creativity and spontaneity, learning from their perspectives as much as they learn from mine. This exchange continually enriches both my art and my approach to teaching, making each step a journey of growth.
