TEACHING PHILOSOPHY & MENTORSHIP

I believe that most student at the Graduate stage know something about what they want to research or say in their work. What I provide is a outside eye to watch for key aspects or trail that bring them closer to what they are headed for. I have a good eye for this. And I have knowledge and experience in material and mediums that can serve their work. In summary I am here to guide the student toward their own authentic voice.
