Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a full time established artist, a mom, a teacher and and part time volunteer
I have been painting since forever, and have had formal training in all mediums like oils, pastels, watercolors,charcoal etc. This love for art and creativity has led to a full time career as an exhibiting, commercial artist with my works shown in galleries, shows and private collections. My art had also been sold on Williams Sonoma, One Kings Lane and featured in NY billboards and Popsugar.com, to name a few.
Painting is my passion, and so is teaching. I love art, kids, teaching and technology, so this is the perfect place for me combine all this here and to share some skills with wonderful students here.
They can continue to use the techniques that they will learn in the class room , to create their own masterpieces in a learnt art tradition or anything else that they pick up in class.I want my students to feel great about the artwork they create and enjoy their learning experiences. This is a great outlet for self-expression, creativity and self pride as they continue down this creative path.
