I provide a unique perspective with my art instruction in that I can also share expertise in creating art & design that has a proven track record of success. This is a significant step above just teaching the craft or mastering the craft. To be able to sell the craft takes real skill and marketing skill with specific decisions that need to be made with subject matter, color and composition. I have a strong proven record of success which shows that I have been able to create strong sales with my painting designs.
