I will teach you how to unlock your hidden talents and to discover essential techniques that can help you avoid months of frustration. I teach various sketching techniques, color mixing, brushwork techniques and teach about light, shadow, color theory and composition.

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.

I have the room, equipment, and supplies to teach painting with acrylics or water-based oils, simple printmaking, mixed media, collage, and simple bookmaking.

I started showing my work in 1990, in France where I come from. I created my Blissful Gallery in 2012 around my work, which is all about offering a virtual peaceful and joyful space to the viewer's mind to relax and expand.

Hi there, I'm a mixed- media artist, based on Freestone, which is in West Sonoma. I have a BFA in printmaking from the San Francisco At institute, class of 2000.

I exhibit frequently in San Francisco, and am very excited to my next solo show, which opens Thursday, May 28.
