Objective

To instill a life-long appreciation and respect for art and its countless connections to every day life. To also bring students to the realization that they can achieve absolutely anything, whether it be in art or any other area of life, if they put forth the effort and believe in themselves. I have a vast amount of knowledge about art as well as a high proficiency in many art making techniques. I plan to help mold the next generation and aim to make the world a better place as a result of this.
