About
Welcome! It is my deep belief that part of being human is expending, expressing and expanding creative energy. I love teaching art through this lens and have been teaching for over 12 years, both in an academy setting and through private, individual instruction. In my home studio, I use oils, cold wax, encaustic and many other media. I teach painting, drawing, color theory and mixed media techniques. I conduct sessions in my home studio in Columbia, TN, or will travel to you. I am an award winning artist, author, small business owner, and creative retreat leader. I have a BFA in studio painting and was trained classically in Verdacchio style. I love supporting the creative process in others, no matter what level. A good teacher invites curiosity and meets a student where they’re at and listens to where they want to go.
