My primary intention as an art instructor is to foster and develop the creative thinking, visual literacy and problem solving skills considered necessary for my students to function effectively in the future, whatever their discipline.

In a supportive & nurturing atmosphere, you have a chance to study a variety of drawing & painting techniques. Level appropriate exposure to many disciplines to include, but not limited to:

• Drawing
• Painting
• Printing
• Art History

I have been teaching out of my home studio space for 3 years and now have open spots on Monday and Wednesday mornings for adult beginners or adult advanced students.

In addition to the lessons listed above, we explore a wider variety of mediums including encaustic and 3D. Drawing will include the use of pencil, charcoal, and pastel.These classes emphasize traditional techniques and an exploration of contemporary concepts.
