Education Outreach
As a person, I feel very motivated to share my knowledge and positive perspective of art to nurture creativity in other people. In 1999, I started teaching in the San Francisco International Children’s Art Museum. Here, I met and worked with Tim Rollins, who led me to start a program in Baja, Mexico. I taught there for free for 4 incredible years, facilitating cross border collaborations between Mexican students and American students. This was mostly with elementary age kids. Now, I am a credentialed teacher of art & science at the secondary level in the U.S.
I enjoy doing artist talks and public lectures on various areas of art. I am available to teach workshops that result in a show with an artist talk or lecture. I also, sometimes teach private art lessons. I have traveled as far as Michigan to teach community classes. I currently live in San Diego, have a family with 2 young sons and teach full time for the JCS, San Diego Academy, so schedules or traveling must be carefully arranged.
I am currently teaching a “science infused with art” class set for Julian Charter Schools 2011-2012 year.
Below is documentation of a workshop series I did for ICBC of Rosarito, Mexico. It resulted in a mosaic mural on the front of their building. It was unveiled to a live audience during which I spoke in Spanish and was televised locally.

This class was taught in Spanish over two months, twice a week, three hours per class, for twelve kids.
First, we talked about how to do a mosaic.
Then, each student drew a design for a serving platter on paper.
Then, each student drew a design for a serving platter on paper.
Next, the design was drawn onto the platter.
Then, we broke our tiles.
The pieces were then glued to the platter.
Finally, after the glue dried, we grouted them and we were done.
Now that we knew how to make a mosaic, the whole class walked around the government building
and chose a location to do a collaborative mosaic mural.
They picked this pillar in front on the art gallery.

They picked this pillar in front on the art gallery.
We designed a snake that wrapped around the pillar.
Every student designed and mosaiced in imagery.
These students wanted to work with the idea of heaven and hell.
I engraved their names into the snake’s head to give credit for all of their hard work
on what is now a permanent artwork in their community.
When it was all done, we had a great unveiling party with food and speakers.
