Biography
My research focuses on artists who combine their artistic practice with educational or socially engaged activities. I aim to examine the evolving professional roles of artists in contemporary society, exploring how they integrate their artistic practice with work in education, healthcare, and community settings. I am particularly interested in how these hybrid forms of work contribute to both social well-being and the sustainability of artistic careers.
