Expressive Oil Painting Classes/Coaching

Private and group oil painting classes. Workshops.
Expand your own unique expression all while learning new, exciting oil painting techniques working with mediums, glazing, layering and colors.

I love teaching and sharing what I have learned in my more than 30 years as a professional fine artist. I focus on teaching with oils which to me are magical for blending, color, glazing and developing a painting layer by layer. My desire is to facilitate, celebrate and express what is most deeply yours as you develop your painterly skills.

I understand finding the right instructor is important and you want to be comfortable and inspired to create work you envision. Let’s talk or meet in my studio before scheduling lessons to discuss your creative aspirations and see if I am the right instructor for you. Whether it be abstraction, representational or more realistic work, we’ll work together creating and developing your skills, personal style in classes tailored to your individual goals.
