“I wanted my students to be able to enjoy the full artist experience. My art classes provide personal instruction of “real” artist techniques and skill building secrets that allow attendees to develop their own individual artistic style. From learning the basic artistry required to create a beautiful work of art to the joy of exhibiting their art work at a public venue.”
