— Teaching Philosophy —

I have pursued art education for over two decades. I have distilled all of my learning and artistic experience to create this method to learn to draw and paint in the old master style.

  • Value of full-time atelier-type study without having to undergo one.

  • A flexible curriculum built around personal preferences and goals.

My goal is to help every interested student in reaching their artistic aspirations to the best of my abilities. I begin every student’s enrollment with a detailed discussion about the student’s needs and aspirations, followed by an assessment of their current learning stage to understand how best to help. I will create a customized lesson plan based on the discussion and assessment.In case I am unable to tailor to your needs, I am more than happy to guide you to where you might find the help you are looking for.

So, please bring samples of your or your child’s artwork for the trial lesson and come prepared to discuss your goals, time line, constraints and the best-case scenario for learning.
