Artists can learn to be entrepreneurs
I'm a freelance artist, graphic designer, commercial photographer and freelance writer for ad agencies and private and corporate clients for over 15 years.
I'll show you how to pitch an idea to anyone you meet. You'll learn how to engage people from all walks of life and in all fields of endeavor.
We'll discuss how to add value to the work you produce and ultimately how to deliver projects that will meet your clients needs and convert them into loyal clients who trust you to fulfill their visual requirements. We'll talk fees and contracts and how to protect yourself as a small business owner.

About Donna D.
Do you want to study photography with a commercial photographer who's photographed Tiger Woods, George Stephanopoulos and golfer, Carrie Webb? Learn the basics of lighting, composition and camera usage or advanced techniques and strategies to create picture stories for publication.
Would like to improve your writing skills, language skills or English understanding, I can help as a nationally published features writer for USA Today and Gannett.
Improve your interviewing skills for article writing by someone who's interviewed Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame.
Do you want to develop your understanding of and proficiency in graphic design, drawing, painting and 2-D design, learn from a professional in the field who studied at Rhode Island School of Design, Ontario College of Art and Design with an MFA from RIT.
I tailor my teaching to the level of each student. Instruction is fun and exciting. With an education that's included six years in art school, my teaching style is creative and intuitive yet provides the structure needed to grasp concepts quickly.
I gear all study to achieving a level of mastery of the subject. With a respect for what others have achieved, we'll look at the contributions in the field, then set the bar high with an innovative approach to learning.
