About
I have been a teaching artist since 2014. I worked as a graphic designer for almost 20 years and I have been a fine artist for most of my life.
I found that, not only do I love to make art, but I really have enjoyed teaching and sharing art experience with others. My goal is to continue making art and teaching art. I have a home studio set up to take on students as well as the ability to travel. (See my work in my portfolio section). I also taught for Painting & Vino, which is a paint and sip company that you can see in my experience section if you would like further info. I would love to take on more students at this time and my ultimate goal would be to hold workshops and to have my own large studio to run one day. -
