Art Classes & Services

Dear Creatives,

I am offering small, in-person, studio services.  ​

PORTFOLIO REVIEWS & CAREER MENTORING — TBD

You may bring a portfolio of your works or paper, or five to ten, portable works on canvas, etc. We will examine them together, and I will provide an honest critique, with the goal of learning about the work’s aesthetics, and the artist’s inherent potential for artistic growth. 

 

Also, using my experience as an exhibiting artist, a curator, a gallerists, and a studio and art history professor, I will provide ideas about how to move your art career forward in ways that match your talents and goals.

 

    $200/hr., two-hours maximum

MASTER CLASSES — TBD

-These studio workshops—for two to four artists—center on mixed-media works on paper. 

-Emphasis will be on collage, drawing, & calligraphy. By request, a workshop on monotype printmaking may be arranged.

-My teaching approach is mindful, even meditative. 

-My goal is to help you find your unique, inner potential.
