She is passionate about fine art being accessible to children and overcoming the idea that only people who are “born with it” can be artists.

She strives to teach the foundational methods of perception – of “seeing as an artist” to her students by using many strategies to engage right brain thinking in her classes.  She also teaches at the Beaverton campus of Masters School of Arts.
