Anny

I have been an artist for a lifetime and a teacher for over 25 years, having also begun my meditation studies and practices 30 years ago. I love using art as a form of stress-relief and a meditation tool and helping others to do the same.

I am a state certified High School Art Teacher, hold certification in Expressive Arts for Healing from Salve Regina University, certification a Meditation and Mindfulness teacher, and have apprenticed for 21 years with a Master Shaman of Penobscot Indian heritage who has given permission to teach and share various meditation and wisdom modalities. I’ve worked with thousands of people of all ages including adults.

I offer meditation guidance and instruction, expressive art as a meditation and healing modality, as well as traditional visual art lessons.

As an art instructor I love teaching painting and drawing of all styles. I take a compassionate approach to individual creative expression so as to meet each individual’s personal goals. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate artist, I can help guide you on your journey. Those with more advanced skills can benefit from working with me through my expressive arts approach to deepen creativity.

I have received several awards for exemplary achievement, hold a state educator certification, a certificate in Expressive Arts for Healing, and am a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher which I weave into my lessons. I recently was awarded a Fellowship with Fund for Teachers and the Dalio foundation and spent a month in Hawai’i studying with Native Hawai’ian artists and craftspeople.

While I love creating art, teaching and sharing skills with others is my soul work.
