PERSONAL INTERESTS
I have taught art classes for over 10 years at CMC. I have a passion for understanding diverse beliefs and motivations, and how these shape our lives, our relationship to creativity, and material culture.
I enjoy making things with clay, the process of creative discovery, going down information rabbit holes, traveling to unfamiliar places, and watching my rare begonia’s grow in their terrariums.
