I have 10+ years of experience with drawing and painting. I have taught a wide range of ages from elementary to college classes. My art has been displayed in local art galleries and shows. I specialize in acrylic paintings and drawing with pencil and charcoal. I believe that art is very important in children's lives. It improves their art skills, imagination, and also helps to improve their academics. I hope that you will join me!
