It's freakin' awesome. Empowering people.

I’m a really great artist, but not much of a teacher. I can talk you through a really great oil painting session, and show you how to free yourself into a raw canvas and make sense of it.

I have been teaching in Aurora Public schools for the last four years and have experience teaching adults and children. I enjoy teaching and creating being a working artist in the community in which I live. I have had my work shown in various art fairs and centers. I like to work with a lot of different mediums such as watercolor, oil, and acrylic. l am partial to drawing the human face and family members in every day situations.

Former art therapist turned artist turned teacher, I am a patient, understanding, instructor with many art tips, tricks and theories up my sleeve. I am currently a freelance and commissioned artist. I mostly paint pet portraits and can teach you how to do the same! Check out my IG @openarttherapy to see references of my work!
