In 2015 I launched my home business in Folsom teaching art classes to children. 

In my art classes, children will learn fine art skills that will last a lifetime. I teach a classical method of drawing and painting that anyone can learn. At the first class, students will be given the step-by-step tools to build a drawing and add colorful, true to life effects to make a beautiful work of art. Not only will they build technical skill, but they will gain self-confidence. This decreases frustrations and opens them up to the joy that comes with discovering their own creative success. While classes take place in a group-setting, I work one on one with each child to allow them to work independently and progress at their own pace.

Classes are ongoing, weekly 90 minute sessions. This gives ample time for children to take their time, clean up, and finish class with a mini art show. They will begin the program with drawing pictures and coloring them with pastels. Once they have mastered drawing they may progress to watercolor painting.

I look forward to helping your child "see" the world in a new way as they grow into independent and confident artists!
