As a painting instructor, my mission is to provide students with the foundation necessary to be creative. My goal is to assist students in capturing the particular mood of the moment and to express themselves in a bold and colorful way, while capturing the beauty and spontaneity of nature.
My workshops are very hands on, with an emphasis on easel side critiques. I believe that giving instruction is important, but showing students how this instruction applies to their individual work is crucial. Based on the student’s level and goals, I develop a program for improving each individual’s ability as a painter.
Method of Instruction:
• Demos
• Hands On
• Instruction at the Students Easel
• Group Critiques
Currently represented in galleries throughout the United
States.
