​Think of it this way. Thanksgiving is coming and you want to do something special for friends and family so you decide to take a 6 week course on French Cooking. You find you have 2 choices. The first is a Chef who has been working in a French Restaurant for 10 years and the other option is someone who has taken a few classes over a couple of years at a Community College. Which do you think would be more likely to enable you to produce your masterpiece?


As you continue to read about the Art Classes I offer here in Tucson you might find yourself realizing that I can assist you on your Artistic Journey. When you naturally arrive at that decision either click on the contact button or if you prefer you can pick up the brush and register here.


If you are like most people I meet; at this point you may find yourself asking, “What benefit is there for me to sign up for painting or drawing classes?” Well, at this point I am sure I don’t know. After all we have just met and only you can convince yourself that registering for a class is a good idea.

Now before you go ahead and make that decision I wonder if I could ask you one question. What if you were to sign up for a couple of months? Imagine you were able to learn at least one new skill or technique. How would that make you feel? It makes no difference whether you have never even tried before or if you have been painting and drawing for years; if you find yourself getting energized just thinking about taking some lessons, it might be a good idea if we at least had a conversation in regards to your goals on ​improving your artistic abilities.

Now I am not going to tell there are good, bad, and great instructors out there because you already know that. The question you are probably asking is; “How can I know the difference?” Now I can’t be the one to tell you what makes a great instructor because there are a lot of variables to consider only you can convince yourself if an Instructor is right for you.

What if you asked a better question? What if you asked; “What makes a great Artist and what kind of instruction would they want?” What skills and techniques do they learn to master? How confidently do they approach a body of work and how did they become so confident? Usually; the Artist that knows what to do, how to do it, why they are doing it, and; most importantly is not afraid to do it, has a great teacher. It is most likely they found someone that in addition to teaching them proven techniques and fundamental skills also took the time to explain why it is done that way. They found someone who did not just teach them to copy someone else’s work; their instructors taught them how to create their own.

You may recall that I mentioned that I am an Artist that teaches. If you were to sign up for one of my classes; I am confident that you would quickly realize that my goal is to equip other Artists with the techniques, skills, and confidence to reach their personal goals.


To me, teaching is a divine calling. It was never something I wanted to do…until one day, when a Jr. in college, I had a sudden change of heart. I knew it was a path I was called to travel. Not just to be the best artist I could be, but also translate the process, and open the door of beauty and creativity to others. My mission was to not have any of my students experience the same frustrations I went through. To shorten the learning curve, and establish a foundation of right processes and good habits.

​That, unfortunately, was not my experience. I came up the hard way, with teachers who couldn’t draw or paint well themselves. Or they were accomplished artists that couldn’t (or wouldn’t) relay the information in a way that could be easily interpreted into practice.
