About
Education is so important to me! Having been a teacher for the last 30 years, I realize we all learn from each other.
My class is devoted to demonstrating each idea, and giving individual attention to each person. We cover all of the principles and design elements with a different emphasis each week.
Individual attention happens the whole session - unless I am demonstrating.
My class is about helping people to "get to the next level"no matter where they are right now. I really enjoy sharing all I know about painting with all participants.
I learn, too, from every student and other artists. It is an ongoing process for me which I enjoy!
