Deshria Illustration Studio
About
I am a graduate of MassArt and currantly teach at HCC. I am a professional illustrator. I enjoy getting students to the next level. I work with the how to get your painting to a more professional level. I enjoy working with portfolio development for high school students and with adults picking up a new hobby.
I love working one on one with students. Honestly, most of art is practice, so I love introducing concepts to students and seeing what they make of them in a few months when they get stuck. I enjoy teaching color theory and how to use composition in visual story telling.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
