TEACHING




Teaching at the intersection of art, ecology, and care.
I’m an artist, educator, and designer developing curriculum that weaves together environmental care, natural color, visual language, and multispecies connection as part of a broader commitment to ecological and social transformation. Through hands-on processes with natural materials and place-based art, I invite students into practices shaped by critical frameworks like ecofeminism and decolonial thought to explore what it means to create not just about, but with, the living world.

I teach across a variety of settings including universities, museums, studios, art centers, and nature-based programs. My offerings range from short-form workshops to semester-long courses, tailored to the community and place.





Teaching Areas
Any of the themes below can be adapted into a lecture, workshop, semester-long course, or collaborative research project.



Natural Color: Inks, Paints, Dyes & Earth-Based MaterialsWe begin with plants, minerals, fungi, and earth. These can be foraged, grown, or repurposed from “waste”. This area of teaching focuses on natural inks, paints, and dyes, including how they’re made, what stories they tell, and how they allow us to return to more reciprocal ways of working.

Students learn hands-on techniques in natural ink, dye, and paint making, pigment extraction and modification, and slow material processing while engaging in broader conversations around ethical sourcing, sustainability, ephemerality, and kinship.

Key ideas:
  • Natural color processes and history
  • Low-waste and regenerative studio practices
  • Pigment extraction and transformation
  • Plant knowledge and interspecies relationships
  • Working with ephemerality
  • Plant origins and responsible sourcing





Earth-Based PrintmakingThis area explores how traditional printmaking techniques can be reimagined through the use of natural inks, earth pigments, and plant-based materials. Students learn to make their own inks from gathered or grown sources and use them in monoprints, relief prints, anthotypes, and experimental printing methods.

Emphasis is placed on sustainability, low-toxicity studio practices, and print’s role in resistance, storytelling, and community-building.

Key ideas:
  • Natural inks and low-waste printmaking
  • Land-based materials and inspiration
  • Print as tool to imagine new futures
  • Embracing slow, experimental approaches and process-based inquiry
  • Print history through feminist, ecological, and decolonial lenses




Storytelling Through Making: Material Practices for ConnectionThis course explores how making through tactile, experimental media such as collage, printmaking, and zines can shape new narratives rooted in care, reciprocity, and transformation. Drawing on frameworks like ecofeminism, multispecies kinship, and radical imagination, students engage with material practices to challenge dominant stories and envision new futures.

Alongside hands-on experimentation, we engage with transformative thinkers like Ursula K. Le Guin, Silvia Federici, Marie Watt, Adrienne Maree Brown, and Donna Haraway whose work opens new ways of imagining the world and our relationships within it.

Key ideas:
  • Creative practices such as printmaking, collage, and zines as tools for radical imagination
  • Storytelling through materials and embodied practices
  • Learning from land-based artists and transformative thinkers to inform creative practice
  • Creative approaches to more-than-human relationships informed by decolonial thought




Design as a Visual Language for Change and ConnectionWith over a decade of experience in graphic, product, and brand design, including design for mental healthcare and non-profits, I teach design as a tool for communication, connection, and care. This area explores how visual language can be used to communicate issues, build solidarity, and challenge dominant narratives.

Students develop core skills in layout, typography, and composition, alongside an understanding of how design shapes perception. Together, we explore how principles of design can support movements, tell stories, and make space for new ways of seeing.


Key ideas:
  • Crafting clear and compelling visual messages
  • Typography, color, and composition
  • Symbolism and meaning in color and type
  • Challenging dominant narratives through design
  • Ethical and sustainable design practices
  • Building solidarity and community through visuals
  • Crafting flexible visual tools for ongoing use





Let’s Work Together

Please get in touch if you’re interested in collaborating on a course, workshop, lecture, or curriculum project. I’m open to remote and in-person formats and am happy to adapt offerings to meet your students and community where they are.
