Painting with Marina D.

I believe I held a paint brush before a pencil, I began oil painting at age 7. In art school at such a young age it developed technical skills, culture, knowledge, and confidence all through art. This is exactly what I try to teach everyone of my students. As an Arts specailist over 25 years my concentration had been as a painter in various mediums, a portrait artist and participant in various art shows all over New York. It is my pleasure to say I have 15 years of professional experience in teaching both Visual Arts and Performing Arts. It is my philosophy to provided Arts education for the whole child, the whole human. I teach via demonstration, communication, and interpersonal skills. I also have an extensive background in working with students of all ages, wide experience in fostering creativity and inciting interest in learning. I believe a Masterpiece is within each student!
