Personal Description:

Janet (she/her) is a mixed-race multidisciplinary artist with a practice rooted in both contemporary fine art and craft. With a fondness for mixing juxtaposing materials and a practice rooted in shared histories, she is driven to explore concepts involving identity. Pulling inspiration from both mid-century forms and futuristic design, her work manifests as installation, sculpture, gatherings, time-based media, and both human-food and human-flora interaction. She is also one third of studio.docx, a creative team that presents innovative contemporary art in public spaces to create unique community experiences. In addition to her creative practice, Janet coordinates and curates art projects and artist capacity-building programs.

Tutoring Experience:

I have over 7 years experience teaching both kids and adults from ages 5 to 60+ in a number of environments including Toronto GTA based arts organizations, small businesses, in municipal centres and historic sites and for school boards.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is personalized one-on-one tutoring because it allows me to tailor the teaching style and pace to match the student's learning preferences and academic level. I also like to pair this approach with subject-specific tutoring and skill-based tutoring to helps students build essential competencies that can benefit them across various art forms while receiving targeted support and in-depth explanations in areas where they may be struggling.
