Painting With Purpose / Teaching English Language Arts
About
From CAREGIVING to TEACHING
Started as a hobby with my dad. Evolved to be a funky little class were expressing (painting) with freedom is celebrated. And of course, refining technique along the way.

Simple. Relaxed.
Been teaching for 25 years both in creative writing and visual arts. Age ranges go from 3-99 (Believe it or not!)
My way of teaching is to bring out the inner styles of art that lay deep within you. And to usher that expression in a playful, edifying, and visually pleasing way.

How did you get started teaching?
I’m curious so multiple things teach by default.
I recall, as a grade school kid, being able to articulate a concept for a friend after a few others tried. I had focused on my friend’s personality and suddenly I knew how (not necessarily what) to articulate it.
She got it.
My curiosity helped.
What types of students have you worked with?
3 year olds all the way to 92 year olds
believe it or not!
I’m (creatively) patient.

...for the mind to let go a bit. āļø
