    Cathy is been a great teacher! Im a first-time painter, and shes provided a supportive, welcoming, helpful, fun environment in her at-home studio. When Ive expressed interest in a new technique, shes been enthusiastic about building that into our lessons. I enjoy my Thursday afternoons with Cathy!

    She’s a talented artist! A very nice person! I enjoyed our sessions together. I am a very very beginner in acrylic painting - and at times she was over my head. The first two paintings were pretty elaborate but I learned a lot from her and am glad I got to work with her.

    I love Cathys style of teaching. Her wonderful studio provides a comfortable & relaxed environment. We dive right into painting and she offers gentle advice & suggestions as we go. She is kind, funny, and easy-going and most of all, shes passionate about painting which makes me want to paint more...more...more. Great instructor!

    Cathy is very easy to work with; she listens to your interests and guides you through each painting with helpful tips and tricks and allows your own personal style to shine through. She is fun, knowledgable and I always look forward to starting something new with her.

    I’m so happy that I found Cathy- she is extremely patient, encouraging and fun - her studio is wonderful with walls filled with her art- this is the first time I have attempted to paint and working with Cathy and her technique of teaching gives me hope that I will be able to paint to my satisfaction.

    Frequently asked questions

    A conversation with a prospective painting teacher to share info about your materials, goals, and interests helps your mentor choose source material and develop a lesson plan for your quick progress. Your dialog is also likely to reveal if you and the mentor are a good match to enjoy your creative process. New students should look at the work of their prospect online to see if it's appealing.

    Work in an advertising agency surrounded by highly-charged creatives and alongside family members who all painted inspired a life of sharing and assisting others to express their own hidden creativity and learn new skills.  and got my start in a creative teaching environment as a dance instructor. 

    Including paint set up and clean up, the lesson generally runs one and a half hours or slightly longer, and the pricing reflects that minimum to help you get started and complete your painting sessions. Reduced pricing for an agreement to complete 4 sessions can be negotiated. 

    I'm naturally an extrovert who loves people and sharing what I can to help them learn. I started as a dance teacher and learned that combined with my personality, my genetic disposition to creativity and how it was fostered as a child, is a splendid match to working one-on-one with adults.

    My students have typically been women looking for an outlet for their creativity. Many are mature women in retirement looking to enjoy their free time in a fun, expressive hobby where they can share in the excitement of learning something new. 

    I'm a member of an Art Guild where we had a well-known local artist review our paintings. It was quite stimulating and revealing to learn so much so quickly about painting from her critique of our work.

    Prepare questions for your prospective teacher and arrange for a phone conversation for at least a half-hour. The important, personal decision to work one-on-one with a mentor should include a review of their work on-line to see if it appeals to you personally. Also, do you have space in your home to build your own studio?

    Asking questions about good materials to have to have on hand to work with this instructor...brushes, color, where to purchase. Ask about what appeals to the instructor for source material, and what they think will be necessary to develop painting skills.
