About
Welcome! I am a full-time artist, living and working in Marietta, Ga. My studio is located at the Artisan Resource Center in Marietta where I teach a weekly class to beginner and intermediate artists. The class is designed to help students understand and build upon the main principles of art; composition, value and color, while learning to paint more expressively. The class is tailored to each artist's individual needs. All levels are welcome.
