Private Art Instruction

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’re sketching your first still life, experimenting with bold color, or preparing a portfolio that turns heads, I’ll meet you where you are—with patience, encouragement, and a healthy dash of humor. Our sessions are built around your interests, your pace, and your goals, so you can enjoy the process as much as the results.

I specialize in:

Basic drawing skills and creating texture

Botanical and still life studies

Whimsical and imaginative creations

Mastering light, shadow, and composition

Portfolio development for art school applications
