Want to learn to paint or draw your favorite scene or photo you took on your last vacation? Interested in learning how to creatively express your own artistic development through your favorite medium? I have been a practicing artist for 20+ years and I love seeing others progress with mediums they are personally interested in. Painting, drawing, photography and ceramic sculpture have been large focuses of my artistic career; coupling that with my love to educate others I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk to see if I could invest my time teaching you some of the skills and techniques I have learned from all around the world.

As an experienced teacher I have worked with all ages and in various settings. I am excited to get to know you and help you become the best version of you. I believe in you and believe you can and you will.

Want kind of artist you desire to me is of the highest priority to me. I am interested in seeing you develop the skill set and style you desire. If you desire to paint realism, then I will help you to develop those skills, if you it is impressionism, abstract, etc, let's develop those skills.
