The one thing I have learned about creative arts expression is that it is best when it captures the movement. One thing, the best thing I learned early on, is that life, and life expression is art and that is dynamic. Consider art in motion, like a really good action shot whether it be in sports or editorial or journalistic photography or illustration. Its moving both physically AND emotionally. It moves. And it moves you. I consider t2ge work I do a process of expression in relationship with Creativity in general-the process is bigger than myself. It's not all about an end goal or product but often includes a product. I find that when produc...

I have taught all ages in afterschool, hospitals and privately. I stress encouragement in my approach and working with strengths and desires. I studied painting at Bard with an acolyte of Hans Hofmann. I let my website go but you can get an idea of my aesthetic on my facebook page:facebook.com/dlhoust. Thanks I read a study of piano prodigys that went on to have a successful career as adults and what they had in common was a teacher who was able to communicate why and how he loved music. I want to be that teacher. Time after time I heard from elderly people that they quit art because a teacher eighty years before said such and such was no goo...

Shawn C. says, "Dear Prabin, Here is my recommendation: I met Prabin years ago during Toastmasters in Emeryville. We both were working on improving our speech capabilities. I saw Prabin go from very beginner level speech to knock your socks off speaker that won a round of applause for best speech on a first-time business trip to India. At Toastmasters, he gave several speeches on art and art history that are on youtube. He sparked my interest in trying art, so I took one of his plein air courses at 4th Street Fine Art. Since he goes regularly to figure drawing, his level of painting is at the master level. He took our small class out to the Berkeley Marina to paint outdoors. First, he carefully scouted the best area for composition and light and then walked the students through the process of painting in oils. I was very happy with the results of the class and still paint to this day. Thanks to Prabin. Cheers, Shawn Carter" Read more

Xenia has been an EXCELLENT art teacher for our child. She has worked with him in developing a variety of artistic skills, and most importantly, encouraged his love of art and his confidence in making art. She is responsive, responsible, punctual, and effective. We think she is just great!

You're beginning to open my mind regarding portraiture. It's never really appealed to me to try it. I just might be starting to see the light. A crack in a doorway, the shadow is born. A piercing thready creek, heavy laden with scorn.

Olivia was dedicated to teaching our teen fundamentals of drawing - kind, engaged, talented and supportive! Our daughter is a self-taught artist and wanted the "basics" and portrait drawing as a foundation - Olivia met her where she was at, gave great feedback and created a welcoming warm space to learn.

JJ is intuitive, kind, and curious. And a lot of fun. I liked working with him because I felt safe to be myself, to be weird, to be vulnerable.
