Youth Art Classes - time to register

This session I'm offering a painting class for students ages 7 and up. We'll focus on acrylic painting on canvas, with some new media and lessons as well. Our focus is on the development of each artist in a warm and encouraging environment. Class meets on Tuesdays 3:30 - 5:00. Classes are 5 weeks long. This session will meet March 8, 15, 22, 29 and April 5.

My adult course is still running due to several snow cancellations! The new session will begin in late March. I will post again when registration opens for the next session.

January Art Classes

This January I am offering two adult art classes and one youth class. All classes run for 5 weeks. Specific dates are listed below. Youth classes are limited to 6 students, Adult classes to 4 students. Sign up early to be assured a spot!

I am also offering Monday morning studio time. From 9:00 - 12:00 artists and students may sign up to come use the studio and materials on a regular basis or to finish up paintings begun in class. This time is less structured but I am available to help at all times! Art studio time may be purchased in a batch of 5 for $225, or on an individual basis for $45 per session.

Drawing and Mixed Media

Tuesdays 3:30 - 5:00

Drawing is a true foundation skill for any artist. But there are many approaches to drawing beyond putting pencil to paper. We will explore different media including charcoal, and pen & ink; as well as a variety of approaches to drawing. We will be drawing from life as well as from imagination.
January 11, 18, 25, February 1 and 8.


Adult Class
Painting I

Wednesdays 6:30 - 9:00
In this class we will use both acrylic and oil paints. We will work from a still-life to cover topics such as palette, composition and basic application of the paint. This class is a great way to try painting for the first time, or to pick it up again after a gap.

January 19, 26, February 2, 16 and 23.
No class on February 9.

Teen Class - I am beginning to develop a teen class and am interested in speaking with anyone who is interested about the scope of the class as well as schedule. Please contact me if you would like more information.

Youth Art Classes Session II

Tuesday afternoons for ages 7-14.
Session 2 begins October 26.


Session 2 will include new lessons for returning students, but it is still appropriate for the first-time student. I will cover classical painting concepts such as value, color theory, and composition. While new skills and materials are introduced and practiced, students are encouraged to choose their own subject matter and to complete projects at their own pace.

My classes are designed to teach specific skills and to give freedom of expression. I foster a warm, relaxed and supportive atmosphere in the studio, encouraging students to take risks and try new things.
