The Rusty Palette

I am a children't Author & Illustrator.

My children's picture book series encourages the use of imagination to create a better world. My art teaching style encourages the same.

I have been artist my entire life and I enjoy providing creative counsel to those in need.

My main focus is guiding my students in finding their unique creative center where they will draw from their personal experiences to complete true works of art. Technique is taught after your creative center has been found.

The art mediums I currently enjoy teaching are:

1. Fine Art:

- Acrylic painting on canvas

2. Art Journaling:

- Mixed Media Sketchbook Keeping:

Basic Pencil Sketching

Acrylic Paint

Watercolor Paint

Watercolor Pencils

Regular Colored Pencils

Cursive Handwriting with Pen & Ink with Glass dip and Fountain Pens

Collage with paper and natural items

3. Zentangle meditative art

I enjoy teaching the techniques used in art however teaching the creative process is my favorite. Once one taps into their own creativity source the learning just flows.
