About
I have been teaching art/crafts to adults for almost 20 years & love helping people to connect with their artsy side. We create, learn & grown together through acrylics, watercolor and more.
As a self-taught, working artist sharing skills and getting the creative juices flowing is important for the instructor as well as the students. The free flow of ideas creates joy, openness, promotes friendships & increases everyone's abilities.

As with anything, look at the artist work and see if it resonates with you. If you see something you like and would like to recreate, just ask them. If you feel like you could work with a particular artist, then make an appointment.

Observe their work. Talk to them about most anything, art in particular. Listen with your heart and just take the plunge. If you like the class, book another, if not check out a different artist.
