Private Learning Opportunities
​​
My Art Coaching Program allows students to sign up for private sessions with options to customize the material or guidance I can offer. Topics range from composing strong designs, critiquing works in progress, to writing artist statements etc. Spots are very limited and are accepted on a first come first serve basis. Most sessions will be available between November 2023 to April 2024. Please don't purchase a session or bundle unless we have a written agreement to work together. Sessions may be refunded otherwise.

Here are a few of the responses students have shared from my workshops:
"I always learn so much from your presentations. Your enthusiasm for the creative process is inspiring!" - Susan B.
