TEACHING PHILOSOPHY & MENTORSHIP

I have mentored several students at MCAD over the last five years and love to come to our meetings with an attitude of collaboration and curiosity. I strive to treat my mentee as a peer and someone who is moving toward a vibrant and ongoing practice outside of an institution. To that end something I value is working with my mentee to understand how to transition their practice and their work out of the academic space and into the sometimes lonely reality of your post grad studio. My broad philosophy is that you know yourself and your work the best so my function is to see and interpret the things you make in an effort to feel for edges and ideas that you may not have already identified.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

MCAD admits students of any race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, or marital status to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
