About
Art is my passion and I love sharing what I have learned through out my practice....Sharing my understanding of fundementals will help you to develop your skill and continue to foster your love of art. I have been practicing art for 5+ years both traditional and digital. I went to LACC for my fine arts class and Westwood School of design for my bachelors in Graphic Design. I have participated in community art projects and well as commissions. You can see some of my work on social media Facebook/ Instagram/ tumblr using @mer_artwork
I enjoy teaching I enjoy watching a student reach those A-Ha! Moments in their artwork. It's very exciting to help the process of an artist unfold.
