Soft Machine Gallery
About
I am currently an adjunct teacher at Northampton Community College, the co director of Soft Machine Gallery and recently guest curated an exhibit at Lafayette College. I have taught in public and private schools as well and teach private and group lessons at the gallery. I enjoy helping people tap into their creative selves, helping their ideas to pop and blossom. I try to provide skills for enabling these ideas to come to life.

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.
