Workshops
I have been teaching since 2015. Currently working with kids within homeschooling community, teaching after school art programs at Vancouver Elementary schools and hosting adult workshops/painting parties.
We are born creative, but very often our creativity get stifled, as we are put in a very narrow box of what art should look like. So we become “bad” at someone else’s vision of what art is.
My goal is to nurture kid’s creativity, to allow them to create freely, without judgement from themselves or others, and to learn skills to help them gain more confidence.
Through experience of learning classical drawing and painting, I help my students discover who they are, how they can they live creatively and be uniquely themselves in art, and in life.
I want everyone to know and experience how good it feels to be creative, to be surprised and liberated from this stifling madness of self doubt.
