  ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

  I have created art for most of my life, but I actually became a professional artist 15 years ago. I have a strong background in watercolor painting, and I teach a step-by-step approach so that anybody can learn my Methods. I provide the students with tricks of the trade that aren’t often taught by other artists!

  I have been very active in the art community since I became a professional artist.

  I have participated in numerous shows and I’m currently in two mountain co-op galleries. I have won several awards for my art over the years.

  My promise is to help each student achieve their goals and to make the classes fun!
