나와 함께 그리기 : 주간 스케치북 그림

I am a full time artist completely in love with creating art , I paint daily and sell my paintings locally and online.
      I have enjoyed drawing since I was a child and have always had a sketchbook nearby but never took an art class until my late 20's. One oil painting class and I was off, learning everything I could, using as many art materials as I could get my hands on.  
       A fearless desire to try new art techniques and mediums has driven me to learn art on my own, no formal training , although I have learned a lot from some talented online art teachers.
        It is exciting, inspiring, empowering to learn that you can create something beautiful with just your hands, your mind and a few simple tools. 
      I would become stagnant if I did not have an outflow for this creativity, so I teach!!  I love sharing what I have learned with others.  I am willing to teach whatever I am learning and creating so expect a variety of classes.  
      I taught art in a private school to grades K-12 for 2 years.  I have also taught art and sewing lessons in my home.  I was a homeschool mom for several years and taught art at our homeschool co-op to ages 6-13.  
    I think that online learning is a huge asset to the the young artist. Being that I have learned a lot online myself I know from a students perspective. 
   With close up cameras, a smart pen,  sharing abilities in Zoom, printables and whatever else it takes , I am able to really focus the student on what they see, learning to see details and put them down on canvas or paper.  
     I believe every artist is at a different place in his or her learning process and needs to work right there in that place.  No comparisons to others or mine.  Mistakes are welcomed and hopefully turned into a new and unexpected beauty in the art. 
   My hope is that my students enjoy the process of learning and creating art as much as I do and that I can help make that happen.
