I believe we are all Artists .. the trick is helping people find their passion for Art and find who they are as an Artist. I am open to helping anyone create anything in any medium. I love a challenge. You never know what you are capable of if you don't try. I enjoy helping people find their way and watch them grow as an Artist.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In a full classroom I make sure everyone has some one on one time. In my online class tutorials, I keep the line of communication open through text message and encourage my students to share photos of their work of art in their own time for encouragement, critique and feedback on the next step.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I give away all my secrets. I'll come up with recipes and ideas and think "oo, this is too good to share" but my eagerness to help others succeed to their fullest potential always wins. I show people how I create art, then I show people different ways to achieve what I , or others have created. I don't want anyone to feel like they are in a box and that there is only one way to achieve something. There is no wrong way to create art.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching as early as elementary school, my friends would ask me to show them how I created my drawings. I gladly shared with them step by step how I did it and quickly learned that everyone not only learns differently but have their own preference on medium and eventually started developing their own style. I also had to teach them how to embrace their individuality, not critique themselves to harshly and not be discouraged of beginning stages because we all have to start somewhere.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have been teaching Art to all ages in all walks of life.
