Ignite your creativity with professional artistic mentoring

Heather L.

I am an artistic visionary from the Pacific Northwest and has been creating art since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I completed my BFA from Central Washington University with an emphasis on graphic design in 2007 and I have spent a decade working in advertising, marketing, and graphic design.

Since then, I continued my education by studying with various artists and styles over the years in my travels and on my own. Having studied at the Atelier School of Classical Realism, I have a strong grasp on basic elements of perspective, shadow, and light.

I am musically gifted as well, having started playing music at age 11 with the flute. I became passionate about jazz when I was 13, and switched to saxophone. I have played saxophone for 20 years and I have performed professionally in both classical and jazz musical ensembles. My teaching style focuses on the basics of music theory, sight reading, improvisational soloing, and tone development.

I have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts with an emphasis on Graphic Design. I have 10 years of professional graphic design experience and am passionate about fine arts. I have taught classes in acrylic painting and drawing.

I took private lessons for 8 years when I was beginning my musical studies and continued playing music through college and after. I have a strong grasp on music theory and an effective teaching method that was passed down to me through one of the best woodwinds instructors in the northwest.

Ultimately my goal is to find the most harmonious way to unlock the potential of all my students. Let's work together to create the best version of YOU and how you express your voice to the world.
