Teaching
I offer instruction in observation based, representational drawing and painting. Working from an academic training and current artistic practice rooted in art history and specific to the present, my goal is to give students the tools to express their own individual artistic perception by structuring, simplifying, and ultimately representing on paper or canvas what they see.
