Teaching is an important part of my art practice and it’s collaborative and improvisational aspects are my favourites. Students teach me as much as I teach them, and I find that the sharing of ideas and work makes us smarter, happier, and making better work all the time.

I’ve been the course leader for the Illustration course at the University of Gloucestershire since 2021 and am so proud of the work we’ve been doing to examine and develop how we teach illustration and art. See more of what we’re doing at http://uogillustration.uk

Teaching/Not Teaching

Zine about the collaborative nature of teaching. Published by Pittville Press, 2022 and part of the Wash U Zine library TL:DR & stocked at Printed Matter in NYC.

Drawing Is Contagious

Research is also an important part of my art practice and I love thinking and talking about why we do what we do. I’m interested in how we can use drawing to communicate, and why that’s important, accessible and enjoyable! You can see more of my research here.

Previous to my current role, I taught at Maryland Institute College of Art/MICA in Baltimore, Parsons School of Design at the New School, and Fashion Institute of Technology, both in New York City. I began my teaching career at Etsy Labs & Third Ward Brooklyn, which were community spaces in the early 2000s.
