My service stands out because I do not have just one teaching method. I tailor my lessons to meet the needs of my students. I think outside of the box and make lessons fun and memorable. I love art! If I can see it I can make it. I love to create and I also love to share my love of art with other people. I am great at teaching people easy approaches to accomplish creative goals. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember and it brings me so much joy. I enjoying being the guild so that students can bring their artistic vision to life.

I have been mentored by one of the finest artists, Jim McGinley, in oil painting and drawing. I have practiced drawing for over 30 years. I am also a landscape designer, video filmmaker, and musician. But drawing is the backbone of all that I do. Drawing has many benefits, and strengths. I have always found an escape with drawing.
