About

I am a retired school teacher and a watercolor art hobbist! I love to teach people of all ages the love and joy of watercolor painting. My love for nature, animals, children and people shows in my passion for this media. I use my 30 years of teaching experience to organize an in home watercolor painting experience. I provide the paper, brushes, paint and supplies needed to complete a watercolor session. Topics can be tailored to the students interests. Lessons can be 1-2 hours depending on the student's desire. A painting can be done in one session or over several lessons depending on the students needs. No drawing skills are necessary. I show how to start and finish a whole painting. All watercolor skills and techniques can be taught over several lessons.

    She was very nice. My daughter liked the way she explained everything and also let her draw what she wanted. We are definitely going back for more art lessons.
