This class is basically a one on one style class, but for siblings or friends! This allows for two or more people, who know each other, too participate in a private art class. It also allows for friends to hang out in an art class who might not live in the same city or even country! The learners in the class must know each. The siblings/friends will be working on the same art project in the class. The content will be learner driven. This means that I can customize the class to the learners needs. I cap the class at four, but I can open additional spots for a larger group if needed. Some topics we can cover in this class are watercolour painting, acrylic painting, standard drawing, abstract art, cartoon drawing, contour drawing, realism, coloured pencil drawing, alcohol marker drawing, ink drawing, graphite pencil shading and so on. I also have professional experience in advertising and graphic design, so I’m also happy to teach a class on creative marketing or graphic design. Upon enrolling, I asked that learners share their artistic interest with me so I can cater a class to their needs.

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.
