Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
After learning about students' intentions, I tailor my instructions based on students’ desires. I recommend new techniques, mediums, and approaches through demonstrations. I usually let students to be in their "zone" to create, and I will offer methods to handle brush, mix paint, experiment with brush strokes, teach color theories, guide with perspective drawing, etc. There are various ways to approach painting, and I will help students find paths that suit their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art with emphasis on drawing and painting from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 after receiving Bachleor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Savannah College of Arts and Design. I have various art teaching experiences through private tutoring, volunteer teaching and in higher educations. Currently, I am the Exhibition Coordinator at the Austin Central Library, curating exhibits, art installations and displays.
