With a master’s degree in applied art, specializing in sculpture, and a bachelor’s degree in art education, I bring nearly 20 years of experience in teaching various forms of art.
Through my professional career I had a chance to experience wide range of art techniques. From medieval techniques of printing, engraving, embossing etc., to modern techniques of acryl painting, CNC cutting and 3D printing.
I am honored to have received a United Nations award for my postcard painting titled "Dream of Peace," and I continue to spread the message of joy and peace, love for life and creativity. The greatest motivation comes from witnessing the transformation of a blooming artist as they uncover their passion for art or the history of art.

As an art assistant, I have the incredible opportunity to share my love and passion for art with students. I strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, safe, and open to embracing new artistic challenges.
While I am currently attending Iona University and majoring in secondary education in mathematics, my heart lies in inspiring young artists. With my skills and knowledge, I aim to push our art classes towards a new and innovative world, encouraging students to explore their creativity and express themselves freely.
Each day brings a new chance to encourage and nurture the artistic talents of those around me, and I cherish every moment of this journey.
My passion for creativity led me to a job at a garden, center where I learned the art of floral design. Though my career eventually took a different path, I continued to nurture my artistic side, often arranging fresh flowers after outings or weddings, and even dabbling in photography, earning a spot in a publication.
I foster a love for art in my home, inspiring my daughter to explore he own creativity through crafting and drawing. Our shared passion for artistic expression keeps our household vibrant and imaginative.
