As an artist that has been creating for two decades, I am always learning new things and perspectives on art and the process. Always trying new things and finding the curiousity to mix my passions of art and comic books and science. To be able to engage in all aspects of the minds beauty. I believe that teaching is also a part of that learning process. To teach someone that they can create some thing beautiful and see from a new perspective, I believe is what makes the Art world so amazing and intriguing. Not the art that you create but the connection and emotions that you evoke within another human being when they view your perspective. Whet

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.

It's freakin' awesome. Empowering people.

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!
