Virginia, United States
I guess you could say I was born an artist! My intrinsic artistic abilities appeared around the age of 1½ years old when I began scribbling colorful imagery on my bedroom walls, later carving designs and cryptic messages on my parent’s fine furniture. Over the years, I have continued my artistic endeavors working as a monotype printmaker, painter, mixed media artist, and jewelry maker.

I look forward to sharing another year of exciting classes, great artists, and an encouraging online community. Don’t worry if you haven’t watched all of the classes from the previous season(s). You’re not behind! Think of it as instant access to a reference library with lifetime access to instruction and advice from professional artists around the world. I hope to create with you this year. 



Here are the lessons I will be teaching:

Intuitive Nature!

These lessons will focus on the use of thumbnail sketching and viewfinder technique, specifically for observing and considering nature at a variety of scales. 

We will begin in the garden looking at the flowers and foliage creating thumbnails in our sketchbooks. 

We will then take those thumbnails and we will add color using collage and a variety of materials. 

 

 

Lesson Two: 

Intuitive Nature - Part 2

From the ‘Thumb’ to the Substrate. 

We will return to our sketchbooks from Intuitive Nature Part 1 and choose an image(s) and create on to the substrate using encaustic mediums and pigments along with 

mixed media and a plethora of tools to create and enhance our pieces to create the cultivation and evolution of our own botanical visualizations.
