About
I co-founded Moon Gallery & Studio in 2017 with my creative partner, Lauren Tarbel. Moon Gallery & Studio showcased the work of local and national artists in a number of solo and group exhibitions, offered classes and workshops in a variety of mediums, and hosted weekly and monthly figure drawing classes both in-person and online for several years.
I currently teach national online drawing classes for Michaels Stores as well as ongoing private lessons and customized online courses from my studio at Canopy in East Austin.
I enjoy helping students develop an art practice that can sustain the perpetual growth of their skills over time. It is very rewarding to me to observe my students experience breakthroughs in their personal expression.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Get to know each other by discussing past work (if applicable), influences, and desired mediums with which the student wishes to develop skills.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education. I taught public middle and high school art for several years. I have taught students of all ages for the past twelve years, but my focus has remained teaching adults in community-based classes and private lessons. I am a full-time, professional artist in the Austin community. I have also led professional development seminars for fellow art educators in district-wide events for Austin ISD and Killeen ISD. In my spare time, I audit college courses on subjects pertaining to quantum physics and neuroscience for research in my personal artwork which explores ideas of identity and the passage of time using primarily calligraphy ink and high quality paper.
