About the Artist

I find joy in the connections between the visual arts, yoga, music, dance, and journaling. It is for the betterment of future generations, that I feel so lucky to teach, and for the world that holds us all. I do this by contributing as a teaching artist, both within and outside of the classroom. I encourage collaboration and creative risk-taking, which are essential parts of the living education system all around us. 

I have a background in studio arts, and drawing is my favorite- whether it is sketching with pencil or redrawing lines within my photography, I enjoy creating work that moves with line. A line is a dot in time as it moves through space, which also so freely explains my own existence. I have also studied and practiced integrative hatha yoga, and am interested in how the visual arts, self-knowledge, and breath awareness cross paths.

Life should be about the joy of the present moment, while limiting suffering within ourselves and in the lives of others.

Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something. -Swami Satchidananda
