Teaches Beginner and Intermediate Painting and Drawing

Award winning artist in 2021 Palmer Lake Art Guild

I have been teaching painting and drawing (all grade levels including adults) since 1983. I am also a professional mural artist and found that my painting improved many years after art school. I was frustrated back then and painting seemed so complicated! Is that you? I figured out, with my own research, the freedom and fun in painting. Your painting will improve week to week as we work together to apply nice color combinations, explore values, shapes, edges and so on. Are you interested in portraits, still lifes, landscapes, animals? Let's start with smaller painting sketches to learn the basics of color, shape and design. Then we will take it from there. You can and will succeed in producing paintings you desire!

I love interacting with a variety of students, all ages and backgrounds. Teaching art is never dull and boring, and neither are my students! It gives me such pleasure to sense thier satisfaction as they progress artistically.
