Calling all artists, animal lovers, and anyone who's ever been charmed by a creature with a permanent smile! This workshop is your chance to explore the fascinating world of axolotls, the adorable amphibian with gills that never outgrows its tadpole stage. Sketch the unique anatomy of an axolotl: We'll start with basic shapes and guidelines to capture their distinctive features, from their feathery gills to their webbed feet. Master the magic of watercolors: Unleash the vibrant hues of these aquatic wonders using wet-on-wet techniques, layering, and washes. Bring your axolotl to life: Add personality and details to your creation, from playful expressions to shimmering scales. No prior experience is necessary! This workshop is open to everyone, from curious beginners to seasoned artists looking to experiment with a new subject. Our experienced instructor will provide guidance and encouragement every step of the way, ensuring you have a blast while creating your own little underwater masterpiece. ~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! This is a step-by-step lesson, and you need to be on time. If your artist is late for any reason, I will let them in class, and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud. Art develops problem-solving skills. Art engages the creative mind. Art will allow you to express emotions that may be difficult in other ways (words / social interactions). Art will build confidence in your abilities. Art allows connection with other people. Art develops fine motor skills. Art is FUN!

No matter what they love to draw, I'm here to help them learn and grow!
My passion is to inspire young people to:
~Find courage and confidence in their creativity.

~Have fun and enjoy the process of creating.
From basic drawing techniques to exploring different mediums, my interactive classes are designed to:

~Most importantly, foster a lifelong love for art!
Whether your young artist is a beginner or wants to refine their skills, I have a class for them!
My journey began with sketching as a child and working on graphic designs for T-shirts as a teen. As an adult, I have designed and painted larger-than-life murals and now teach art classes to the public. I currently teach weekly live worldwide art classes online. I get in-person interaction with my local events for those in the Houston, Texas, area!
I reside in Houston, Texas, and I am a homeschooled mom of three. (2 graduated, and one will graduate in 2024). And a proud U.S. Marine Mom! When not putting my latest art onto paper, I can be found "pumping iron" at the gym with my husband of over 27 years. My family is very committed to saving animals, and our house is always full of foster animals from our local animal shelter! Beware, you may see or hear a puppy, kitten, or guinea pig in a live class!
My passion is inspiring young people to find courage and confidence in their creations! Imagination is the doorway to being able to express yourself and be happy!
Motto: Be who you needed when you were younger.
