Teaching and Residencies

Teaching

While doing my undergraduate degree at Arts University Bournemouth I was fortunate enough to be selected to assist in the summer school and Saturday school program as an assistant.  During my MA I was approached by Widening participation to be a visiting tutor for the saturday school program. I was elated because I knew after my MA I wanted to pursue teaching and at the time Higher Education was undetermined.  After working this past year with children on the Saturday school program I knew that A levels or foundation would be something I would be keen on pursuing academically within the arts. See lesson plan below.

Masters Versus PGCE and Visa

Journey to Post Graduate Studies Versus PGCE




My original plan was to teach within the United Kingdom, after attaining my degree in Fine Art from Arts University Bournemouth. However the direction of my journey has taken a drastic change. Coming from a academic background in America, a veteran art teacher in a primary school age setting for fourteen years. I thought teaching the arts in the UK would be a familiar yet challenging addition to my teaching career.

Print Fair London




Original London Print Fair


Printing became more than reproduction for me, more of a trial and error as most of my mistakes became my final pieces of work. For me It’s all about the process as well as the result. Bringing a new visual language to my practice has allowed me to take risks but stay to true to the one process I think is never-ending, printmaking.London's longest-running art fair.

Collaboration with MA Illustration Students at Sway


Collaboration with MA Illustration Students at Sway



In alignment with my research and practice I participated in a brief called nature with a group of MA illustration students at Sway.  It was a great experience working in collaboration, but also a good way to test my illustrations in a gallery space.  I was able to screen-print my drawings directly on to the wall, incorporating them in with the other mediums creating one narrative piece.
