TEACHING STATEMENT
I have worked extensively in various printmaking techniques and have been teaching printmaking and related techniques for many years. While my own studio practice focuses on drawing and etching, I am available for instruction in most printmaking techniques, drawing, image development and artistic critique.
I believe that my role as teacher is one of facilitator. I therefore like to foster divergent thinking on the part of my students while educating them in traditional and innovative techniques, histories and concepts. I encourage self-criticism and gently push students further through experimentation to find their own voice and self-confidence in the medium. I feel that the development of one’s creative voice goes hand in hand with the development of technical skills.
I cater to varied learning styles and teach through interdisciplinary learning, embracing audio, visual, and hands-on approaches through demonstration, experimentation, discussion, and critique. I shape the lessons to the needs of the students and pride myself in offering a supportive learning environment, an open dialogue and patient teaching style. I view the teacher/student relationship as a collaborative relationship, and value the lessons I learn in the process.
