Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.

I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

Thoughts, happenings and community

I love sharing my thoughts, studio and projects in something less fleeting than social media. You’ll also find a bunch of free resources such as videos and reference images here. Your feedback always makes me feel good so leave a comment if you’d like.

A year worth of planning, writing, recording and creating had to come together in these weeks before my new course “Foundations I” started early September. And now, in the final week of this 6-week live course, I feel like I can…

    I did something big a few months ago; I released the first workshop that I made exclusively for my own website. I can hear you think “Que? What have you been about then lately?!”. I’ve actually been wondering the same thing, and feeling increasingly stuck in creating more course material. So here’s a blog full…
