Why I Teach: “I teach because, in its purest sense, the artistic process is an exploration of ourselves in the environment around us, and the main goal of this process is to find a voice that will best express those feelings and ideas that make us who we are. Assisting someone to embark on this journey of self-exploration has been one of my most satisfying endeavors.”
