Teacher Bio:
I teach drawing, painting, photgraphy, meditation and am a Certified Therapeutic Arts Coach. I have taught online since 2013. I teach students of all ages (7 – 90 + yrs old). I teach all mediums and all styles. I am a figurative painter with an MFA in figurative oil painting and exhibit my paintings internationally.
I charge a premium price because I provide top notch lessons. 
I work with beginners and established artists. We work on the goals you have for yourself. A goal can be: have fun, do art! It doesn’t have to be defined or serious. I use step by step demonstration to help you meet your goals. I also use two camera angles in class – one with an aerial view of my tabletop to zoom in during detailed demonstrations. Who says you can’t learn art online?!? Sheesh! Just ask my student Syreeta. 
I customize everything to your preferences and measure success upon your satisfaction. 
As your teacher I am a guide by your side wherever you would like to venture. In addition to the artistic skill building we do together, I specialize in working on a personal level with you so you can get the most out of your creativity as possible. This can look like giving you tips on how to arrange your creative space for optimal function, helping you work through creative blocks, painting without pain, guidance around the business of art and exhibiting, etc.
