Welcome! I am a professional fine artist and instructor providing dedicated, one-on-one lessons in oil painting and fine art drawing for adult students, aspiring art professionals, and dedicated high school or college learners. My formal background includes classical training at the Art Students League of New York and Art Center College of Design. With decades of professional experience as a studio painter, illustrator, and graphic designer, I aim to help students cultivate their unique artistic voice while mastering core visual fundamentals.
My instruction focuses on building strong foundational skills across representational art, impressionism, landscapes, and portraiture. In our drawing sessions, we work through contour line drawing, line weight variation, structural form, and perspective. For oil painting, we concentrate on value structure, composition, color relationships, and expressive brushwork. Whether you are learning to set up a palette for the first time or looking to refine your current technique, every session is customized to your specific creative goals.
I structure my one-on-one mentoring around hands-on practice, constructive critiques, and active studio demonstration. Over my years of teaching and professional practice, I have found that individualized, step-by-step guidance builds genuine technical confidence and helps painters overcome creative hurdles. I look forward to working with you to elevate your technique, deepen your understanding of visual form, and bring your creative vision to life.
