About My Work

Art has been the center of my life for over 30 years. I am a professional artist and educator with extensive experience teaching children, adults, and elderly learners. My work combines creative practice with education, community engagement, and hands-on artistic exploration.

I believe art is not only something to observe, but something to experience. Whether I am guiding a child through their first drawing, collaborating with students on large creative projects, or creating art together with elderly participants, my goal is always the same: to create a safe, inspiring space where creativity can grow naturally.

Teaching Experience

For three decades, I have worked closely with children and students across a wide range of age groups and skill levels. My teaching approach is patient, encouraging, and adaptable, allowing each student to express themselves freely while developing strong artistic foundations.

Areas of teaching include:

• Drawing and illustration
• Creative thinking and visual storytelling
• Group and individual art projects
• Mixed-media and experimental techniques
• Project-based art learning across different themes and topics

I have designed and led numerous creative programs, workshops, and long-term projects tailored to different age groups. Each program is structured to balance technique, imagination, and emotional expression.

Working With Children

Working with children is a core part of my practice. I create engaging, age-appropriate projects that encourage curiosity, confidence, and joy in the creative process. I focus on:

• Developing fine motor skills
• Encouraging imagination and self-expression
• Building confidence through creative achievement
• Teaching collaboration through group projects

My experience allows me to connect easily with children, understand their needs, and adapt lessons to different learning styles.

Art for Elderly Participants

I also have hands-on experience teaching and creating art with elderly individuals. This work is especially meaningful to me, as art can be a powerful tool for connection, memory, and emotional well-being.

• Gentle, accessible creative techniques
• Process-based art rather than perfection
• Encouraging self-expression and storytelling
• Creating a calm and supportive atmosphere

Art becomes a shared experience—one that brings joy, presence, and a sense of accomplishment.

Creative Projects & Specializations

Jewelry Design

I have experience designing and creating unique jewelry pieces, working with form, texture, and detail. My approach blends craftsmanship with artistic expression.

Costume Design & Stage Preparation

I have designed and prepared costumes for theatrical plays and performances, collaborating closely with performers and directors to bring characters to life through visual storytelling.

Stage Experience

In addition to behind-the-scenes work, I have experience performing on stage. This perspective allows me to approach costume design and visual concepts with a deep understanding of movement, character, and performance.

Origami & Paper Art

• Origami
• Paper cutting
• Sculptural paper projects

These techniques are often integrated into teaching programs and collaborative projects.

Drawing & Illustration, Doll Creation, Drawing on the Glass

Drawing remains the foundation of my artistic practice. I work with various styles and techniques, from expressive sketches to detailed compositions, adapting the approach to each project and audience.

Artistic Philosophy

My work is guided by the belief that creativity belongs to everyone, regardless of age or experience. Art is a way to connect, to heal, to explore, and to communicate without words.

I approach every project with care, professionalism, and deep respect for the people I work with. Whether teaching, designing, or creating collaboratively, I aim to make art meaningful, accessible, and inspiring.

Collaboration & Projects

I am open to collaborations with schools, community organizations, theaters, art programs, and private clients. My experience allows me to adapt to different environments and project scales, from intimate workshops to large group initiatives.

Let’s Create Together
