As an artist, I explore the complex relationship between humans and nature. For example, my current series “Not So Hopeless” represents successful initiatives saving endangered animals from extinction.

As an art facilitator, I specialize in collective mural projects that beautify the schools, empower students, and create community.

Specialization: Painting, Murals, Collective Projects

MURALS

Turn those blank school walls into something beautiful and meaningful! Students will create a mural to express themselves and develop a sense of community. The inspiration is sparked by the students and I guide them to bring their idea to reality as they leave their mark on the school.

Not just limited to walls - I have done projects where students paint on shipping containers, tables, chairs and bulletin boards. Let’s transform your school together!
