Passionate about social justice issues and developing thoughtful, thought-provoking artworks.
With the advent of the Pandemic and ensuing riots, marches, and protests, several social justice issues have come into public view. I am dedicated to introducing this topic to students and helping them develop their own thoughtful, thought-provoking artwork based on these issues. It builds compassion and critical thinking skills on the part of the students involved.
