I teach private and semi-private classes in my home studio or your location
My Studio Space
Lessons will address the development of the student
- in the direction the student wishes to take
- or skills they wish to learn.
- Drawing Mediums: Charcoal, pencil, marker, ink
- Painting Mediums: Acrylic, Water-Soluble Oils
- Palette Knife in oil or acrylics
- Collage
- Wire Sculpture
Realism and Abstraction are offered. Technique is part of the class, along with design elements such as perspective and composition. We will address anatomy when required. Some Art History will be covered as well as the exploration of current art, as it relates to the student's style or growth. It is reasonable to expect a student to progress on their own, with guidance. Some students work on their pieces outside of class and those students see their improvement more readily.

Student & Adult Coaching
2011 |
Worked with an aspiring abstract artist, as a coach. He had no formal training but lots of potential. We arranged 2 - 2hr classes a month to explore abstraction. This encouraged him to continue to pursue his dream of being an artist and he has participated in many art shows since.

I coached a grade 11 High School Student from Sept to March to improve her art and improve her portfolio for future University applications. One 2hr class a week with homework. She stopped the classes when they moved location.

~ Grade 8 Student - In September I started coaching for her entrance into an Arts High School. We meet at my studio every week for a 2 hour lesson and she works on projects at home or not, depending on her schedule. Her parents feel that this has helped her confidence with dealing with adults outside the classroom.
