About
I am currently the Fine Art and Media Art teacher for a small school, Grades K through 8. I enjoy helping children tap into their creative selves, helping their ideas to pop and blossom. I try to provide them skills for enabling these ideas to come to life as well.
I also own and run a contemporary Art Gallery with my husband called Soft Machine Gallery. We feature art exhibits and music performances of local and regional artists.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will try to understand what interests you/your child most about Art so I can create lessons that pertain to your interests. If you are unsure of specific things you/they want to learn, we will work with a variety of mediums and styles. We can do lessons in pencil, colored pencil, markers, charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, acrylic painting, 3 dimensional art with cardboard, paper mache, etc.
I often create lessons through the lens of Art History so a variety of Art styles will be introduced.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in Drawing/Painting and a Digital Design Certificate from Moore College of Art. I have been working in the Arts for many years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$30 a lesson at our Art Gallery
$40 a lesson if I drive to your home.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught pre school through middle school/high school.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Walking to the river with my son, collecting objects (rocks, stocks, broken pottery), watching the ducks and geese, shadows and more. A plastic bag was caught on a metal rod in the ground. It looked like a beautiful flag waving in the breeze. These moments give me inspiration.
