Provided an informative artist talk on my creative path, the structure of my practice, the communities my artwork is designed for, as well as how I am shifting my artists practice into a professional career.

Milwaukee Art Museum : Art of Writing Young Authors and Artist Conference

Art Mentor

Provided my own artist insight on the creative process with middle and high school students in small groups. We worked through each step at a time teaching how to individualize it, perfect it in our own way, and explain it to a group of viewers.

Learning how to properly critique was another huge point in the education of this program.
