Teacher demos, used to explain proportion, value, and negative/positive shape.

Drawing and painting instruction, portfolio development coaching, studio mentorship, and conceptual critique.

Reach your creative goals with the personalized guidance of a working artist and experienced mentor.

Whether you're preparing a competitive college portfolio, looking to deepen your artistic skills, or reconnecting with your creativity, private art lessons can offer structure, support, and inspiration tailored specifically to your needs.

While Youtube videos and group lessons offer helpful general advice, one-on-one lessons provide an opportunity for focused personal growth with immediate results.

I offer one-on-one instruction in:

Drawing from observation
Painting materials and techniques
Sculpture and 3D design
Portfolio preparation (college or high school)
Artistic development for beginners and advanced students alike
Arts enrichment for kids

About Me

I'm a working interdisciplinary artist and arts educator, currently pursuing my MFA in Sculpture at Bard College. I hold a BFA from Cooper Union and have nearly a decade of experience teaching art to students of all ages and levels - from young beginners to aspiring professionals.

My background spans painting, drawing, sculpture, costume design, and conceptual practices. My background gives me insight not just in how to make art technically, but how to build a lifestyle that centers creative work, from technical skills to navigating the realities of the contemporary art world.

What Sets My Teaching Apart

Student-Centered: I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Together we’ll create a custom learning plan based on your goals, interests, and timeline.
Experienced in Admissions: I have extensive experience in portfolio development for college applications. My students have been accepted to top programs at Cooper Union, RISD, Parsons, Pratt, SVA, FIT, Carnegie Mellon, and more.
Support at Every Level: From complete beginners to practicing artists, I adapt my teaching to meet you where you are.
Warm + Experimental: I create an affirming, curious space for artistic growth. Your voice matters.
