About
During the Pandemic I am providing online classes to families who want to do art and bond as a family. I connect families around the globe at a certain time and conduct classes on zoom. My art classes range from Asian art, African art, learning Egyptian art and traditional floral and landscape painting.
I enjoy teaching and seeing improvement in my students. I enjoy seeing their joy and confidence when they finish an artwork. I enjoy teaching people who have always been afraid of art and painting because of negative comments from others. I enjoy seeing them falling in love with painting and drawing.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently did a Paint online party for a 20 year old college student during the Pandemic with her entire sports team through Zoom. All her friends were across the US and also Australia and New Zealand. I got them all together at the same time to do this fun art class.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I was never taught, which is why I teach well, because I learned how to learn on my own. I do not have any preconceived methods, so I keep learning from masters to keep improving and teaching better.
