About

Art is my passion. My years of experience, education and teaching, have led me to create Artworks Academy-of-Fine-Art, a school specializing in teaching the artist how to create and be confident creating. I specialize in Watercolor but I like to mix it up. I like to teach. All of this in my classes giving my students the tools and experience to explore with their new knowledge. I have been involved in art in some form since the 70’s.

I live in Greenbelt MD near the Gateway Arts District of Hyattsville MD. I belong to the Hyattsville Community Arts Allince and the Washington Metropoitan Watercolor Society. I have shown in many shows and have participated in ongoing venues in the area. I love to vend with my my fellow artists in some of the area Art Festivals.

I started my Art Education in the 1970’s and have not stopped. I love sharing this knowledge and waiting to see my students reactions to their works realizing art is not all about being born with a certain gift or talent. It also can be learned with practice and knowledge.

I specialize in Pen and Ink and Watercolor. I have created as ka Watrcolorist for 15 years or more with private lessons.

I am starting to learn to create abstractly with acrylic pouring and also inks. Their are many videos and instructions on how to do this. It is very fascinating.

I accept commissions: children's portraits, house portraits, animals, cityscapesandspecial landscapes.

    Frequently asked questions

    With a new student i like to keep it simple. Simple subjects to get the feel of creating. Applying color and watching the magic happen on the paper. How the colors blend together to make new colors.

    I started with a few night classes in the 70's which turned into a one year certificate in fine Art and Design. I moved on to another year of similar classes later in  life after raising my children. I loved watercolor and began instructions for many years learning from an an accomplished  Watercolorist and Art Instructor for well over 15 years.

    Today I am studying acrylic pouring and inks.

    I am still learning and creating.

    I charge $30 per hour which includes some of the materials to begin with until the student decides whether they like it not.

    I start by telling student to pick a simple picture from anywhere, magazine or from a personal collection.

    I am open to a wide range a ages and hopefully students who are really intereted in learning to paint and draw.

    At this time I am creating an online store. malstudios.square.site I and hope this will be an event for years to come as COVID19 has caused the world to make many changes.

    I would look at their work to see if you like what they create and ask them how they accomplish this.

    Be open and honest and do not worry about how you sound you are creating your questions and anything goes. 

    You want to find out if this is a fit.
