Teaching ART

I teach adults, children and youth at my home studio on Shore Rd, Dartmouth. I’m in a great location to serve both Dartmouth and Halifax (I’m a short hop across the MacDonald Bridge). By doing so I share my passion and the art skills I learned while taking my BFA (Interdisciplinary degree, minor in Art History) at NSCAD as well as using my education background. Children love to learn and are open to new experiences. I have found that the younger the children, the more uninhibited they are. Teens can thrive with art classes that increase self confidence, patience, and determination, among many other art skills and life skills. Adults are often surprised that tthey CAN learn to draw! I enjoy researching new activities which teach something about a certain artist, a certain period of Art History, or a certain skill. A great class for adults is my Art Exploration class. In this class we tackle new media each week so you are exposed to much more than Drawing or Painting. See Current and Upcoming Classes and use the Registration button, to register for classes.

I also enjoy teaching adults. They quickly improve their skills as I can pinpoint weaknesses and work on correcting those. Sadly, so many adults say they have no artistic talent. I am here to say anyone can learn to draw, or paint, or collage, or… I teach adults either mornings, afternoons or after work. Pick what you would like to learn (Drawing, Printmaking, Art Exploration) (Please note, I do not teach painting) in Current and Upcoming Classes. Use the Registration button to register for classes.
