Private lessons are where creativity gets personal.
In a world full of cookie-cutter art classes, this is your space to explore what you love to make. Whether you are sketching your first still life, experimenting with color, learning to paint in oils without a single harmful chemical, or building a portfolio that turns heads, I will meet you where you are with patience, encouragement, and a healthy dose of humor.
Sessions are built around your interests, your pace, and your goals, so you can enjoy the process as much as the results.
I offer instruction in:
- Drawing fundamentals
- Still life drawing and painting
- Oil and acrylic painting
- Colored pencil
- Botanical illustration
- Sketchbook practice for non-artists
- Portfolio development for art school applications
- Art business coaching for creatives
I also offer homeschool art pods for small groups, corporate wellness workshops, and private paint and sip events.
Lessons are available virtually via Zoom or Google Meet, or in person for local students in the Charlottesville area. All ages and experience levels welcome, from complete beginners to students preparing competitive applications.
Not sure where to start? Every offering includes the option to book a free consultation before you commit to anything.
Please note: Due to my current employment obligations, I am unable to provide private instruction to students who are currently enrolled in my classes at school.
