About
As a way of personal expression painting, drawing, art making is an asset and everyone should know the basics to be able to do some of it. To become an artist requires knowledge of media, history, ideas, time and patience. I enjoy helping in this learning process and welcome all levels of training.
Basic level or advanced art student:
In developing a preferred technique, awareness of precedents in art and experience in handling diverse subjects. I can also help develop a consistent work for portfolios and exhibitions.
English or Spanish lessons, preferably in my studio or your home, internet teaching sessions are possible.(Usual fee is about $ 80 and hour Adjusted according to travel time, specific requirements or schedule.)
My teaching experience is of ten years at colleges and graduate levels in the North East, Miami and Bogota and I have had an art practice of 35 years. My work consists of drawing (all media, specially watercolor, ink, charcoal) and painting (oil, acrylics, egg tempera) on wood and canvas. You can see my work, interviews and background at

To be involved in a process of art as a means of self-expression, mental and spiritual development is a very precious activity in life. In this digital world, I see a need to explore a hands on way of making images, to express our experiences and perceptions. I enjoy seeing the progress in a student and also sharing the experience and knowledge I have with others. Art making is a way to open doors into other worlds.
