With over 16 years of teaching Visual Arts to children, youth, and adults, I’m excited to be able to share my love for art through lessons and workshops, based out of my studio.
I truly believe that quality art education offers more than just lessons in techniques, but that it allows children to express themselves, learn problem solving and critical thinking skills, as well as build confidence.
In these lessons, we will explore a variety of materials and techniques including: oil and chalk pastels, acrylic and watercolour paint, collage, 3D art and more! The goal for students is to gain an understanding and build confidence with these materials and techniques while having FUN!
