TEACHER

WHY I TEACH...

I love teaching. To me it's a joyous sharing of my love of what I do. I've taught children, adults, and elders; privately and in educational institutions, small group venues, you name it!

I'm currently accepting students at my Holyoke studio, a great place to paint, filled with light.

Contact me to talk about what you'd like to learn, I look forward to sharing my experience with you.
