MEDIUMS: Pastel | Mixed Media | Gouache SPECIALTY: ✔ Generalist Â
My passionate, energetic approach to painting coupled with my love of teaching creates a dynamic and nurturing experience for students.
I’ll meet you at your individual level and provide encouragement and a wealth of technical and practical skill sets to help you move forward in your artistic goals.
Drawing from extensive experience and a deep love for experimentation, I use a wide range of techniques and materials that will help you find what works for you. In addition to a focus on fundamentals including drawing, value, color, edges, and composition, we’ll cover topics ranging from framing, entry into galleries, pricing, marketing, and more.
