Mary
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist
I worked as a writing coach with a team at The Oregonian, in addition to writing editorials (opinion pieces) and working as a copy editor. My second favorite thing in life is writing.

I never impose my ideas on students, but instead know how to help you figure out your writing voice, and feel successful in finding your own writing style.

Stephen
Experienced art teacher who focuses on skill and technique
We make art because it lets us communicate the things inside us that language has difficulty describing. Sometimes it is deep love for a parent, spouse, friend, or child. Sometimes it is wonder and awe at the beauty of nature and the world around us. At other times it is a suffering inside that is hard to deal with. For all these reasons to describe our emotions, often when we start creating something, our hands are unable to translate what our minds can picture. They might be able to creat... Read more
