About
Learning technique is important. How to draw, paint, perspective, colors, use different mediums, etc. But that is just the beginning. I will also help you connect with your inner voice, to find your authentic and unique style and be able to express that and become the artist you were destined to be!
I have been learning and doing art my entire life. Learning never stops for me. I am always learning new things and experimenting.
I have had a formal, classical fine arts education from Pratt Institute. I was always fortunate to have studied with great teachers, artists and professionals.
I love what I do and I have been doing it for more than 30 years.
I truly enjoy helping my students to find their authentic style and be creative.
I enjoy sharing my God given talents with you and helping you bring out the creative artist in you.

How did you get started teaching?
When my daughters were young, they were attending private schools in Manhattan. The school asked me if I would volunteer and teach art occasionally. I really enjoyed it.
Later I started teaching calligraphy and art to adults.
I love teaching art and see my students create.
