Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I am exclusively an abstract artist. I encourage a four week commitment from new clients, with a reduced rate, in order to teach a foundation on color theory, types of painting tools and brushes, canvasses, and a brief overview of abstract art. By the second lesson, the new student will begin to explore using various brushes and tools to "play" with paint.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
High school and college art classes. More than 10 years of painting art on walls, faux finishes, decorative painting, art and murals on residential and commercial facilities. Nearly five years of abstract art painting.
