Small Group Class (5-8 students)

This 6-week studio course invites adult painters to explore landscape through mood, gesture, and atmosphere rather than strict realism. Working with acrylics, students will learn to simplify forms, use colour intuitively, and develop expressive brushwork to evoke a sense of place. Through demonstrations, guided studio time, and individual feedback, participants will create 2–3 expressive landscape paintings while building confidence and a personal visual language.
Suitable for beginners and intermediate painters.

Children's Art Classes &
Parent/Child Adventures in Art!
I have always loved exploring the wondrous world of children’s imaginations! I’m currently dreaming up new art programs for ages 5–8 and 9–12, along with a special class where parents and children get to create side by side. If any of these sound fun to you, I’d love to hear from you—and to know which days and times might work best. Thanks so much for helping bring these ideas to life!
