Class Experience

In this one time class we will be painting an elf tree ornament. I like to paint on small wooden circles, but you could paint on smooth cardboard, a tiny canvas, or any number of sturdy services to make your beautiful ornament/painting. 

To create this ornament, will be using a pencil and acrylic paint. If learners have a hard time painting fine lines, a fine tipped sharpie or a black pencil crayon will help a lot. A blow dryer is also handy for this project.

When I teach I lead by example. This means that I paint along with my learners. I mute my classes to help everybody focus, but I encourage learners to unmute and ask questions at their leisure.

No painting experience is required, but like any art project the more experience you have, the better your outcome is likely to be. 

The expectation of the class is that every learner will complete a single ornament. Learners with more experience or faster painters may complete as many as three.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Alberta College of Arts and Design
I love to teach art, and specialize in drawing (wide variety of styles and techniques), procreate, watercolour, and acrylic painting. When I teach, I like to lead by example. This means that I draw, paint and create with my students. Throughout class I make myself available for questions, assistance and feedback. 

I’ve been teaching art for over 5 years, and I have been creating art professionally since 2011. I have illustrated marketing materials for Denny’s, Newman’s Own, Duane Reade, Discovery Children’s Museum, The Mendes Foundation and other clients. 

I also have extensive experience in advertising. I’ve been working as an art director (now creative director) for over 17 years. I worked in New York City for 10 years, Cambodia for one, and I currently work remotely out of my home office in Canada. In my advertising career I've made TV commercials, print campaigns, radio spots, online ads, videos and billboards (even some in Time Square.) I love thinking of cool ideas and bringing them to life. I am excited to share this skill with my students. 

I believe that art is more than an applicable workplace skill. Art is a form of healthy self-expression and personal reflection. I also believe that art teaches the importance of patience and persistence. It is an education for the mind and soul. 

For me, art is meditative. I own dozens of sketchbooks filled with drawings I’ve done throughout the years. Many pages contains a memory, emotion, thought or experience. As a mother, I find additional inspiration through my daughter and new son. 

Art is everywhere, if you look for it. Children especially have a gift for finding beauty in the world. I hope to harness this gift so every child in my class can find their own unique, artistic voice.
