The bulk of my teaching experience has been related to Northwest Coast Art and Design. I have taught from a studio perspective as well as academic. In recent years I have been teaching at a college and university level. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and that students learn better when they are engaged in and excited about the subject being taught.
I have been a carver for the past ten years, early in my career I was a part of the commercial Northwest coast art market. For the past six years I have been showing my work in various professional art exhibitions. Overall, I believe that my teaching philosophy will contribute to active, engaged student learning.
