As an art educator of over 10 years, I strive to instill and nurture creative confidence in my student artists. Each child is unique and their specific needs vary. It is my goal to get to know each child and modify to best support their artistic journeys. This may look like providing concrete examples and demonstrations of techniques as well as making space for creative choice and exploration. The nature of art-making encourages curiosity in all children and I want to make sure this curiosity is never stifled but nourished. I created Little Pearl Art Studio as a place for student artists to expand their knowledge and views about art as well as to make meaningful personal connections through their art-making.
