About
I personalize the lesson for each student. It will depend on the skill level and what they hope to accomplish. Encouraging the artist is a large part.
All of my students have improved greatly. It just takes practice, patience and instruction.
I love seeing my student's improve. Its very rewarding to me.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I am very creative and intuitive so can spot areas of strength and weakness in my student's art. This helps me to better instruct them.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What type of art are you interested in? I am a realistic drawer and paint semi-impressionistic. If you are looking to do caricatures or abstract art, I wouldn't be the right teacher.
