Over the past ten years, I have taught a variety of painting and drawing courses. Having taught Painting and Color at University of Illinois at Chicago for a year during my graduate studies, I honed my skills as an educator. Teaching at Massachusetts College of Art Summer Programs between my BFA and MFA gave me the experience and skills to develop my teaching skills. My class is challenging and engaging for all students.

Monica is a wonderful teacher. She was delightful during my class and I felt she was truly interested in my own artistic endeavors. She was extremely patient, listened and gave very helpful suggestions to improve my technique of mixing Colors and translating my vision via the blade and brush to the canvas. I would highly recommend taking classes with her on a regular basis for all those who really want to learn about the beauty of oil painting and sketching.

I can't say enough about Monica. She is able to bring out the best in her students and allow them to express their talent . Her bright outlook and encouragement allowed me to grow as an artist. She is like an art mentor that will allow you to flourish.
