Why I Teach

I teach my students by providing context to the world of art — from the availability of materials to market strategies, from the voice of the individual to the goals of society. I encourage young people to study with these much larger issues in mind. However, I also believe that the study of art must come back to the object itself.

Teaching is about sharing. It’s about being a part of the process of understanding. It’s teaching, and, always, it’s learning.
