After receiving a BFA in Painting from Metropolitan State Univer- sity of Denver, I moved to Salt Lake City. I've been teaching art here since 2011, and currently teach at secondary students at Utah International Charter School.
I enjoy working with diverse populations, and my students now are refugees and immigrants from all over the world. I am an on- going art instructor for Salt Lake County's adaptive art program for adults with disabilities, and generally love doing art with eve- ryone!
Murals are my specialty - I have completed murals in both Utah and Colorado, most recently along the S-line in South Salt Lake. I believe that art is for everyone, and in authentic community in- volvement, which means creating art that represents the people making it.  Skills my students will walk away with include draw- ing,  painting,  design,  how  to  represent  emotions  and  culture, and confidence.
