During his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting, and this was to a friend and only for a very small amount of money. While Van Gogh was never a success during his life, he plugged on with painting, sometimes starving to complete his over 800 known works. Learn how today, his works bring in hundreds of millions of dollars. Considered a madman and a failure, Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions and though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. During this class, you will learn about how Van Gogh changed not only the world around him, but also the world-at-large and the history of Art. We will explore some of his most popular works of art while we paint a picture of his life and works of art that continue today to impact both the world of art as well as the mental health industry.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I live and teach w/3 basic principles:
#1 I'll never ask you to do anything I'm not willing to do myself.
#2 I won't do it unless it's fun
#3 If we must do it - I'm going to make it FUN!
I'm a master teacher with more than 20yrs direct classroom instruction (3rd grade - university) who then moved into entrepreneurship, consulting and private coaching...I've authored more than 11 books and 1 international best selling book. I'm currently writing a 5-bk series on financial education for children, a book on Grief & Losing Pets and a modern comic book on financial literacy & entrepreneurship. The release of my newest book, "Everything You Need To Know To Start Your Own Dog Walking Business" will be out this Spring 2023.
I host two podcasts (1x a week) for Pet Lovers of all ages, called EAT-PLAY-LOVE-PETS, where we provide meaningful conversations, information and resources for people and their pets to live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life together for as long as possible.
My second podcast is The Kid Factor, what you need to know about money and business that isn't taught in schools. It is for kids ages 7 - 21 and parents too.
I began my first business in the 1st grade and sold it for a profit in 4th grade and now as an entrepreneur, I work with children and families teaching financial education, business start-up, marketing, passive residual income, entrepreneurship, money skills and self-reliance and I, in my own life, continue to practice all that I teach my students and their parents to do. Generating passive, residual income affords me the time and opportunities to share my knowledge, passion and love with those hungry to learn and change their lives so they too can live the life of their dreams.
I am an accomplished athlete with NCAA D1 records, multiple International Gold Medals and have set 4 World Records 9-times. I still compete and I am a highly sought after coach in the areas of strength & conditioning, mental prep. & mindset, track & field, swimming, tennis, powerlifting, and all of the "ball" sports... I don't just coach my athletes to be better in their given sports, I coach them to be better PEOPLE in their communities, just as I do with my students in my classes as well. I honor the opportunity to serve others and assist them in enhancing their athletic and academic performances...
I am an accomplished artist whose medium is glass and mirrors. My works hang in many businesses, institutions and homes throughout North America. I have earned many distinguished awards and my most favorite was The Governor's Citation For My State's Most Beautiful Artist. I have been a featured artist at the National Gallery of Art working with children and adults and I have been creating commissioned works since 1988.
I am a pet sitter and pet advocate since the early 1980s which I now share & teach others on pet nutrition, training and health care needs. Through my podcast, I am able to meet and work with many different types of people involved in the pet industry. Some of my favorite work is volunteering with various miniature horse rescues and equine therapy programs across the United States. I am an active member of my Community Animal Rescue Team (CART).
When I'm not teaching on zoom, I can often be found mucking horse stalls, photographing animals in nature or researching or interviewing a new person for my weekly podcasts. My newest hobby is becoming a Drone Pilot.
Until we meet: MAKE IT AN INCREDIBLE DAY!
