Why Learn to Create Art?
The process of creation is therapeutic and relieves stress which is why we enjoy recreation. Creation bringing out your greater you as you focus on the moment.
The easiest way to find your inspiration is through the arts, and I can teach you how to find your passion by creating your own art or jewelry. As your creative mentor and instructor, you will be delighted how quickly and easily you develop new skills and techniques that will amaze your friends.
Your course is designed around your skills and needs and desires. We can start with the basics, or work on areas that you would like to master. I teach classes for children, young adults, and young-at-heart at the Maitland Art Museum, but for many, it is difficult to attend the classes. I am flexible to create a program around your schedule, at my studio, or in your home or club house.

Picture yourself on a hill in Tuscany soaking in the wondrous Italian landscape. Stroke by stroke you pour your soul into your very own painting as the curious come to watch you create. Imagine the fun and the new friends you can make.
Even if you think you can’t draw a straight line, I can help you find your own style. If the children, who have limited physical skills and patience, can have fun, so can you. Your style might be in colors, or textures, shapes, or swirls, but the only thing that matters is how you feel when you create. Remember it is not what others think, but how you feel. Even Van Gogh never sold one of his works in his lifetime.

Painting is easy when you have someone to guide you. You wouldn’t dream of learning to ski down a double black diamond mountain without some instruction, so eliminate the beginner’s frustration. Give me a few sessions to teach you your beginning skills, and then we can concentrate on what turns you on. You can choose to join my art classes at the Maitland Art Center, or you can choose affordable private lessons at my studio or in the comfort of your home where you can learn without the pressure of others looking over your shoulder.
As you develop your skills, I am there to help you with tips and tricks to enhance your enjoyment.
In Drawing and Painting - Quality, Beauty and Elegance have to be the qualities to touch people on a deeper level than superficialities of trendy tastes. In this world there is already too much ugliness every day.
Excellence will only be attained by those who simply will not accept anything less. Aspiring artists in search of knowledge are confused by the wealth of often conflicting sources of information to fall in the trap being influenced by reputation as far as painting techniques are concerned. After basic instruction and practice they have to find out by themselves which source is reliable. The outstanding reputation of a teacher and his accomplishments do not lift you on the same level or make you a master – one has to spread his wings beyond that.
It is not wise to focus on just one particular kind of picture may it be a portrait, still life or landscape. The idea of neglecting any one in favor for just one is a great mistake until the artist has learned to do them all well. All of these disciplines are required including the essential skills to draw well which was taught in the Atelier’s (meaning workshops) all over Europe more than 500 years ago learning first from Greek and Roman sculptures than from life what to paint later on canvases.
There is always a tendency to make things easier – but there is no shortcut. Certainly there a rules and formulas in the beginning but neither a formula, rules, guru, mentor or guide book can point you later to the way of success when the artist neglects his or her brain. To create high-quality artwork requires intense mental concentration at every stage in progress.
It’s the artist’s eye, inspiration, perception, observation, objectivity, aesthetic sense, and mental mind set to make the right decisions that should be relied on – nothing else - guided by a good instructor who encourages creative and artistic thinking to progress beyond student-level work.
This is the greatest challenge for artists to include those qualities in the art we create which is the key to greatness.
