I've taken multiple classes with this professor and it has always been a pleasure. She gives honest feedback and is supportive of her students pursuing their artistic visions. She is also one of the only professors that talks about multiple active opportunities for artists to pursue while in school or post-graduation.Rate My Professors ↗

I took Sculpture 1 with her and Tim. As a non-3D artist, they were great at getting me comfortable with all the equipment and were always open to talk and work through ideas and how to approach our assignments in a way that we would be excited for. She's very responsive to email and understanding of missed class as long as you communicate.Rate My Professors ↗

Great instructor. Very clear. Talks covered subjects and had several in depth conversations.Rate My Professors ↗

She's a newer professor, would not recommend her for anyone. She's only interested in her own art - not yours, there for the pay only. She didn't even bother to show up to several class sessions.Rate My Professors ↗
