He has been an excellent teacher. Very personable and easy to understand. Easy going friendly manner. I have really improved my oil painting after taking his classes. I love his way of doing wet on wet painting as well. He has lots of great information and can pass it along to the students easily.

He is working with my 93 year old mother in law. He is so respectful of her and he doesn’t do anything before asking her what she thinks. She loves how he treats her. I highly recommend him.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I normally ask the student what they are interested in and what their artistic goals are. If they want to try a lesson and see if they like the medium I will supply the materials and have them supply the subject. I will then help them with their painting or drawing.
If a student is interested in several classes I will find out what their goal is and plan a curriculum that will help them work towards it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have attendended many workshops and classes in my artistic pursuits. In addition to this training I attend open studios weekly to improve my ability in painting and drawing.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge 45.00 for a single lesson. A lesson will normally last around 1 and a half to two hours. I will provide the materials for single lessons.
I will supply the material for the first one and give the student a supply list for the subsequent lessons.
I also offer lessons for groups. Please contact me for a quote.
How did you get started teaching?
I starting teaching my wife's grandmother. I had a great time painting with her, sharing my knowledge and helping her create art.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages. They are normally beginner to intermediate artists.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had a great time painting at Spark at Dark at the Mesa Arts Center. It's a fun experience. The Draw-A-Thon at the Tempe Center for the arts was fun as well.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the style of the teachers art is something you want in your art. Also, students should think about what their goals are. If as a student you want to excell at drawing or portraits or landscapes the teacher should be able to produce exceptional landscapes, drawings or protraits.
