I have always found it amazing to see the growth and positive attitude that art brings to people, both old and young. I enjoy the fact that I can make a difference in how people can see the world.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I talk with students and/or parents to visualize what the learning should involve. I also make sure i know the interest both subject and involvement from the student. I then wish to see any previous work and also like to have the student paint or draw in front of me to check current skills. A lesson plan is then loosely applied with objectives.
