Bio

I’m a traditionally trained artist with a focus on realism, specializing in drawing and painting from life. I recently completed an intensive figure drawing workshop and previously studied portrait painting at Grand Central Atelier, a renowned institution known for its classical techniques. These experiences have deepened my understanding of anatomy, proportion, value structure, and the fundamentals of realist portraiture.

I’m a traditionally trained artist with a focus on realism, specializing in drawing and painting from life. I recently completed an intensive figure drawing workshop and previously studied portrait painting at Grand Central Atelier, a renowned institution known for its classical techniques. These experiences have deepened my understanding of anatomy, proportion, value structure, and the fundamentals of realist portraiture.

In addition to my training, I’ve sold several original paintings (5–7 to date), which has given me real-world insight into the creative and professional aspects of being a working artist. I enjoy guiding students through the artistic process—whether they're just starting to learn how to see and draw accurately or working on refining more advanced skills. I tailor my approach based on the student’s goals, with a focus on building confidence and a strong technical foundation.

My teaching experience includes one-on-one instruction with students ranging from teens to adults, both informally and in structured learning environments. I emphasize observational skills, clear structure, and thoughtful feedback in every session. Whether you're looking to improve your figure drawing, strengthen your portfolio, or learn the principles of oil painting, I’m excited to help you reach your artistic goals.

Drawing

Drawing

I’m a realist artist with a strong foundation in figure and portrait drawing, trained through both formal workshops and extensive self-directed study. I studied portrait painting at Grand Central Atelier and recently completed a figure drawing workshop to further refine my skills. Much of my growth has come from years of disciplined self-teaching, studying anatomy, proportion, and classical techniques. I focus on helping students build solid fundamentals while developing their own artistic voice.
Painting

Painting

I’m a realist painter with training from Grand Central Atelier and years of self-guided study in traditional oil painting techniques. I’ve sold several original paintings and continue to develop my craft through both formal instruction and independent practice. My approach emphasizes strong foundational skills—like value, color mixing, and composition—rooted in classical realism. I enjoy helping students at any level build confidence and deepen their understanding of painting.
