Teaching Experience

I have been teaching drawing, painting and mixed media since the late 1990’s. I worked both as a art director for the non profit Couri Foundation creating art programs for their summer camps and senior center. I owned and managed the Art Studios of Bangor where we hosted a variety of classes, workshop and summer camps for children and adults of all ages. I have taught professional development workshops for art educators as well as workshops for artists and crafters at conventions. Currently I teach self paced Watercolor, Drawing and Mixed Media in my online school. I look forward to many more teaching opportunities in the future!

Here are a few of the places my paintings/art have been exhibited. Thank you for looking.

More Info

I have been an artist all my life. I began selling my work in high school. In 1996 I received a degree in communications form the New England School of Communications and worked as an announcer and copywriter in television and radio. I began teaching art professionally in 1998 at the Art Studios of Bangor, and became the director in 2000. After my children were born I started working from home in the art publication industry and I currently am an art instructor and freelance artist. My work is available in shops throughout Maine. My classes can be found in my online school. I also have thousands of projects and tutorials on my blog and YouTube channel.
