Experience Summary
My parents noticed when I was very young that I had natural artistic ability and put me into private art lessons. I had training for two years in all mediums: oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal and pencil drawing. Throughout the years, I have become self-taught in my artistic life, learning and attempting other skills such as pointillism and pen/ink drawing. Most recently, I took two years in courses at LAAFA (Los Angeles of Figurative Art, further developing my skills in oil painting and drawing.
Teaching Style
I like to see where the student is at, what they are interested to learn and go from there. I like to expose them to all areas if they are open as I feel it can help them in other ways to enhance other skills. It is important for students to move at their own pace, while encouraging them. I start with basic drawing, watercolor, etc., introducing them slowly to other mediums if they are open. I like them to have a good understanding of the medium they are working on before moving to another. Also, I like to incorporate times where there is a crafty project to keep in fun and interesting.
My Hobbies
I am always working on something creative - whether the art world, or crafting in some way: making jewelry, hand painting boxes/objects, making over clothing, etc. I also like to read and work with animals.
