Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Understanding what they want, and what there goal is. Being honest in my ability to reach thier goal, or if I feel they would be better with someone else. I am easy going and enjoy when a person learns something new and that moment they get it.
I am currently teaching at the Plainfield Senior Space, South Plainfield Adult School, Covenent House, Individually, and at Michaels.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Most of my education is self tought. When you send me a proposal I try and ask what is your goal. If your looking for paint n sip style painting I call it, or one stroke, I can do that. If your looking to learn body parts or more art skills, I am not your girl. I don't want to mislead you.
I am putting together a porfolio that you can find under photo albums on www.facebook.com/mariemarkey

All types, all ages, all abilities. I will tailor the class to the needs of the student.
