About the Artist
Currently, I teach private art classes in various media (1-3 persons at a time - including the homebound).  Classes are tailored to the individual's interests and/or project goals and are regularly scheduled on a continuing basis, depending on the student's schedule.  The time between classes gives students an opportunity to work - developing a style, coming up with questions or new projects or challenges, and simply practicing.

I'm also teaching several classes at The Creative Quest, 7146 N. 57th Drive,
Glendale, AZ  85301.  Their phone number is 623-847-2215.  Their website is www.thecreativequest.com, and at The Craft Retreat, 5930 West Greenway, Ste. 20, in Glendale, Arizona.  Their phone number is 602-843-3197. You can visit them online at www.thecraftretreat.com.


My Philosophy        

My goal as a teacher is to help students achieve their artistic goals in a positive, encouraging environment.  I stress the actual process of art-making, leaving the result up to the individual to evaluate.  Recently, I've been teaching classes in structured mandala-making, the routine or ritual of which can be therapeutic, as well as producing a beautiful and meaningful result. (A mandala is a circular design embodying wholeness, completeness and unity.)  The important thing is the feeling of self-fulfillment and satisfaction derived from the artistic experience.

Private Classes are 2 hours
1 person   $40.00
2-3 persons   $35.00 per person
