"I’m a HUGE fan of kids’ art. While I teach, I make sure to pay close attention to their thought process, their mark making, their color palettes, even the way they hold their crayons and paintbrushes. Then I try to re-create what I’m able to observe and inform my own art. Something I’m still working on is unlearning what I’ve learned and trying to go back to that raw, honest, and unapologetic way kids are able to express themselves through any art form."
