MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

​​

• Anyone can learn to paint.

• There is no substitute for hands on, one-on-one instruction by a qualified artist.

• Creating art should be fun, challenging and rewarding. 

• Art brings people together and nurtures our community.

• It's okay to make mistakes. We aren't performing heart surgery here.

• Mistakes are great  learning tools.

• The only wasted paint is that which stays in the tube.

• The studio is a sacred place.

• Honor your creative endeavors. They are meaningful.
