About
After years of experience being creative as a set designer and also spending years doing workshops in school settings, I decided to expand and offer these fun sessions for small groups and individual.
My goal is to help students appreciate what they are doing with the right tool, technique and medium so they can be proud of the result and believe they can achieve something over their expectations.
I love creating the best lesson that will excite other and find the best way or new ways to realize a masterpiece wihile trying new medium it is so much fun to learn what different product can do.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to have little talk with the students to know what are their expectations of what they want to achieve, learn etc. What they think they are weak and strong about and if they are open to try new things.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an associate degree in Design of presentation.
I have many years of experience in my field painting faux finishing, trompe l'oeil, texture wall and murals. The last years while doing faux finishing I spent a lot of time creating art lessons in school settings. I love to bring my knowledge to other and bring their excitement as I get excited.
I love it so much I recently started my business first virtual as doing online workshops during covid and now in-person painting parties.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Depending if I have to drive for a lesson or if the students comes to me and if I have to provide material the price can vary.
If I have to drive to a lesson I usually count my driving time to the place and if then time of lesson plus material. So a minimum of 75$ for driving 15 miles away and 45-60min lesson.
I do have group class that I demand a minimum of 4 people if you want to create your own group and I can provide supplies that ends up being 35$/person and about 90 to 120 minutes session.
