Inspiring Art Classes in Oil, Acrylic Painting and Life Drawing. Gift Certificates are available.
My classes are designed to increase your skill and confidence level by teaching you new techniques to create beautiful, interesting artwork. Each class focuses on building new skills, while encouraging individual uniqueness of expression. Classes are always tailored to your individual needs and scheduling is easy.
I believe enthusiasm and love of making art is absolutely contagious!
Many times, new students have come to me saying, "I can't draw a stick figure," or "I just really stink at art," and by the time they finish one of my sessions, they love the art they are making and are totally inspired to continue creating new work. It still amazes me how many people were told by an art teacher when they were young that they were bad at it, which in turn discouraged and scared them from trying to find their individual gifts.
Everyone is born with talent. You just need a good, positive teacher to show you the ropes.
