About
I have been painting since grade school and know art can heal and help people in their lives no matter how expert they are. I take you where you are now and teach you Bob Ross style, by painting together. I teach watercolor and oil painting. Some students like to learn both.
I am a patient and encouraging expert who has teaching experience with people of all ages and ability levels.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Children's class of 6-9 year olds that taught them drawing skills in drawing a bird they made up in a tree they think is one the bird would like and they can include a nest the bird would make with scraps of paper and sticks glued on and eggs in the nest or baby birds. Also my teenage students enjoy composing their own collages with a theme they choose and they can get as off the wall as they want to.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I have taught art lessons for 30+ years in public school and now that I'm retired I teach privately groups and individuals. I provide a cheerful and safe environment for learning to occur. Parents are always welcome to observe quietly.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How much and what kind of experience do the teachers have? What do you want to learn?
