Traditional Drawing and Painting Skills - Solid Foundation
I've been an artist since before I could even talk. Drawing is the core of my self expression as well as the basis for all good art making (in my opinion), regardless of the final form it may take. It has been said that you can't fix a bad drawing with paint - and I have seen this to be true no matter what kind of "paint" the creator chooses to apply! Good drawing skills can and should be learned by anyone who wishes to communicate in a visual medium. I take a very traditional approach to dra... Read more

Dear Students and Parents, When I was in school, I had favorite teachers. They weren't merely the ones who were funny and nice; they were the ones who engaged me, enthralled me and taught me lessons and skills that I use and benefit from today. English -- or, really, anything involving reading, writing and communicating -- was and continues to be my true love. Having taught creative writing for years, as well as worked successfully with students on their application essays for college and g... Read more
