Teaching & Art Education

​

For over 25 years, I’ve taught art to students of all ages, helping them discover how creativity connects us to ourselves, to others, and to the natural world. My work as both artist and educator is rooted in the belief that art fosters empathy, curiosity, and joy—qualities that nurture community and emotional well-being.
 

At Scollon Art Studio, I will continue my Empathy Project that I began through teaching-artist residencies with ARTS Fairfax, using art as a bridge for understanding and reflection. Beginning in 2026, I plan to share this philosophy more widely through online lessons and in-person workshops, inviting participants to explore the meditative and expressive power of art through clay, relief, and mixed media.
