"Release Your Inner Artist" Instruction

group classes, workshops, and private lessons

Currently offering:
art CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Whether onsite or virtual, these classes are designed for aspiring and experienced artists who want to learn a technique that will help "jump-start" their creativity. As a lifelong educator and practicing artist with a degree in Art Education, I am passionate about helping others overcome their fears about starting a painting and sharing techniques to improve painting.

Using pastels, I guide participants to simplify what they see and capture the essence of their subject by focusing on the darks, lights, and mid-tones. Although geared toward individuals with a minimal art background, experienced artists have also enjoyed and benefited from this unique program. The concepts and strategies taught can be applied to oil, acrylics, pastel, watercolor and any art medium.

Class formats include: multiclass sessions, 1-2 day workshops, 2-hr introductory workshops, private lessons.

MANY thanks for your wonderful teaching in this last class as well as all the others I have taken with you through the pandemic. You inspire us to be better, to push through our frustrations. You guide us with much skill, compassion and humor. Your passion for pastel painting and for teaching infuses your classes.
