Susan Williams Artist And Educator
About
My service stands out due to my extensive education in a wide variety of studio arts. I am adept at graphic design, typography, realism, abstraction, and expressionism, as well as well versed in art history, composition and color theory. I am very hands on with my teaching methods. During my time as an art instructor at an international art program, I honed in on my personal teaching philosophies. I truly believe that everyone has creative abilities that I hope to bring out.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."
~Pablo Picasso
The part of my job I enjoy most is getting to know my clients, and through tapping into their instinctive art styles. It is important for me to not only teach what I know, but also bring out the strengths in each artist I teach.
