A Mission for Art in Education
Joining the Doodles Academy board is a true honor. Their mission—delivering high-quality visual arts education to every child—is inspiring. I’m thrilled to be a part of something that fosters social-emotional growth in young minds right here in our community.
Art as a Path to Wellbeing
My art explores emotions and human connection through vibrant colors and expressive forms. I believe art offers a unique language for feelings and is vital for our well-being. My dog, Rosie, also helps me around the studio.
Supporting Neurodivergent Young Adults
Beyond the canvas, I'm a therapist who works with neurodivergent young adults. My focus is on creating a supportive space where they can understand their emotions, step back from judgement, and thrive. This role perfectly complements my artistic philosophy of holistic well-being and personal growth.
Community Creativity
I was recently involved in collaborating with the amazing students at Abbot Elementary School and local artist, William Burgard, to create a mural. I was thrilled to have my design chosen, and the kids brought it to life with their own paintbrushes!
An Engaging Fall Art Event is Brewing
Get ready for some artistic fun! I'm currently developing a family-friendly art event for this fall that promises an immersive and engaging experience for all ages. Details are still in the works, but you can expect interactive art and creative exploration right here in the Ann Arbor area. Stay tuned for more!
