Hello! I'm Joey. 

​

I am an artist and an aspiring art teacher, currently working toward a Masters and Teaching License at the University of Minnesota. I live in Minneapolis.

​

I am originally from the Boston area, and got my undergraduate degree in Studio Art & Art History from Clark University in Worcester, MA. I graduated in 2014.

​

Since then, I've worked at:

Avalon Charter School - St. Paul, MN

New Morning Gallery - Asheville, NC

Black Mountain College Museum & Art Center - Asheville, NC

Caroline Mecklin Art Studio - St. Paul, MN

Minnesota Museum of American Art - St. Paul, MN

​

I like to think about art as a tool for critical thinking, or a way to examine identity, culture, and the human world. I make a lot of self portraits that pick apart my own life experiences, and I also like to examine the people, objects, and spaces the make up my daily life. I like to paint, sew, build, and draw. 

​

As a teacher I hope to cultivate critical thinking through art projects and class discussions. I want to teach my students to pick apart the roles and rules in society. Check out my blog on this site to see some projects I've done towards this goal.
