About
NOTE: Due to Covid-19 All lessons will be through Zoom or Google Video until further notice.
* I love to paint and be creative. I am passionate about oils but I do like to paint with acrylics or sometimes water colors
I like to have fun and listen to non-vocal music such as Chopin, DeBussy or piano while I paint.
As a teacher, I like people to understand what they are doing at a higher level than just putting paint on the canvases, or sketching on a paper, there is a lot more logic to this and if someone understands this, it helps them create a wonderful piece they'll enjoy for many years!
When I paint I feel that I can express myself to show what I love to do and care about. I care about the environemnt so I paint a lot of plants and trees sometimes I paint wildlife as well.
I will do occasional commissioned work
