I love helping artists become more confident in their painting skills!

What Students Say about my online oil teaching
“Your Zoom classes have been making an online painting class feel very much like a live classroom experience. I have enjoyed painting with you and I feel like I’m learning more all the time! Thank you!” K. Clark
“I can’t tell you how excited I am to find you and finally make a decision to paint again. I have been in my oil paint four days in a row. Saturday was so fun. I loved painting with a limited palette. That was an eye opener. […] I do believe with some guidance I can achieve what my mind envisions. Sincerely, Anne Marie”
“I have enjoyed your online lessons….. You are a very talented artist and I’ve enjoyed ‘meeting’ you!” Shelley P
