Expressing myself through art has always been a way for me to have a creative outlet. I have been painting, drawing, sketching, and crafting for the past 17 or so years. Art is something that I have always felt relieved stress and allow for creativity to flow through. No two pieces of are is the same. Each person can look at the same piece of art and at the end of the day have different out looks on them I enjoy looking at a blank canvas and watching my creations come to life as I add color and texture. Art is where vivid imaginations can run wild and there is no wrong answer....

I’ve been painting for 50 years. My mother was a painter, as was my grandmother. BFA in fine arts from Kent State University. Studied School of Visual Arts in New York with John Parks. Worked as a Graphic Artist in New York for 32 years. I live in Raleigh now. My work can be viewed on Instagram @mmyr111111 Phone or text: 917-603-6466 Thank you

Regardless of where you are in your artistic journey,I can meet you there and push you foward. You always have the option to either do a pre planned project or follow your inspiration if there is something you are interested in persuing. The atmosphere is always positive and relaxed yet at the same time, we are working diligently. I have a huge array of materials and I love to explore. The 90 minute class is often not long enough and usually everyone leaves wishing for a few extra minutes. Im interested in many different styles of art,from realism to fashion, manga , and mixed media and I get to share it all with amazing people....

We teach Classical Academic Art as a business. Students learn to create 3d, realistic images on a 2d canvas.

I am a practicing Painter and performance artist. I work at a local Art Museum and would love to share my skills and knowledge with you! Paint has so much depth of color and emotion and will help the student deal with issues in life as well. Art making is therapeutic on many levels.
