WHAT I BELIEVE AS AN ARTIST AND INSTRUCTOR


I believe certain artistic skills and techniques are fundamental, whether you happen to be amateurs, or a professional, whether you are a crafters, photographers, filmmaker, architect, fashion designer, graphic artist, or lover of any of the arts.
Experiencing classes, discussions, or demonstrations, such as drawing, life drawing, two- and three-dimensional design, color and drawing theory, architectural fundamentals, and even four-dimensional design (which focuses on time-based artworks). My goal is to provide anyone interested with a strong groundwork that will strengthen their visual, conceptual, and creative abilities.
......and for my Art students, they should be aware
that they can demand to be taught to paint and draw.

summer events ...dressed in black!



We went to a lovely wedding Sunday night. It could not have been a nicer evening. Black is my color of choice, so I again donned my black suit, but of a different sort, and off to the lake for the day Tuesday! Pike Lake is an hour away and never crowed during the week. The water so warm and swimable, the surrounding area tree lined and lovely.
