An art instructor since 2003, I have developed a visual arts teaching curriculum that is continuously evolving with new content. I focus my efforts on teaching art in a way that is engaging, challenging, and individualized.
I teach the use of a wide range of media: graphite pencil, charcoal, coloured pencil, water soluble coloured pencils, soft pastels, pen and ink with watercolour paint, oil paint, acrylic paint. Learn how to draw and paint anything from still life to street scenes, figures, portraits, landscapes and more.
Learn about my creative process, and find inspiration for your next project.
Together we can bring your artistic vision to life!
