Art On The Lane
About this pro
I am a professional artist with 15 years experience in teaching children and adults. After graduating from the College of Art in Oakland, I went on to earn teaching credentials at UC Santa Cruz and St Mary’s in Moraga. I have developed a method that will help aspiring artists draw accurately, choose & mix colors, and use various techniques to apply and blend paint. Come join in the fun and discover your creative potential!
I am passionate about the need for art as an antidote to our stressful modern lives. I get a great deal of satisfaction from sharing my passion with my students, and watching their skills evolve.
