I encourage students to derive inspiration from art of all kinds, synthesize abstract information into stories they can learn from and share with others, and Mentorship is my opportunity to tell stories, provide context, and encourage the artist to explore the world beyond the classroom.PAST/CURRENT MENTEESJesse Belinky ’24Rio Gordon ’23Molly Murakami ’20Kendall Dickinson ’20
