Event Overview
"The artist is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of artist."
Ananda Coomraswamy (1877-1947), Indian writer. Transformation of Nature in Art.
Have you always wanted to learn how to draw and paint? Not sure if you can do it? I have never failed at teaching someone how to. I've been teaching art for 25 years. I've taught college level at the top art school in the country and have taught people of all ages and backgrounds. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in studio art from School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I'm a practicing artist who has invented some fantastic methods for learning how to do all these things. I will be able to teach you how to paint like an old master, or to create beautiful abstract paintings, landscapes or still life paintings. If you aren't sure what you want to learn...I can help you figure that out in ten minutes! I can teach you how to find your artistic voice. This is my gift and I want to share it with you.
I can help you whether you are a beginner or are advanced and are experiencing a creative block. This session can get you on track and beginning to see and create art in pencil and paint. Sighting techniques, materials and techniques, subject matter, sources, and some hands on time with the actual materials are some of the things that will be covered.
One of the best things is that I come to your home. No need to brave the elements or traffic! My home is also an option.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
I hold a bachelors and masters degree in studio art, painting and drawing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Considered one of three top art schools in the country. Received a full tuition scholarship for my masters degree, beating out 500 applicants for the award. I fell into teaching quite accidently while in grad school when my professors awarded me an undergraduate class to teach. It has been a passion of mine ever since. I have 25 years of teaching experience in college level and high school level instruction. I love teaching as much as I love making my own work. I sell my work and create drawings and paintings daily. It keeps me inside the art process and provides special insight that an arts education person would not get from textbook learning. In short, that is what sets teaching artists apart from art ed people. Teaching has taught me to be a better artist, and being an artist has taught me to be an excellent teacher. I am a great communicator and I'm passionate about what I do. I would love to work with you.
