"I'm a lifelong artist that chose to go to college to get a degree in education so I could go out and teach what I am most passionate about..........ART! I have a degree in Education with a major in Art Education and a minor in Psychology. I am nearly done with a terminal degree in Fine Art which will give me an MFA.

I have taught art in grades K-12 with the bulk of my time spent teaching 7-12 Art. Presently I teach art at a local High School. In the past I have given private art lessons but have not experienced that in Louisiana, as of yet. I moved here six months ago and purchased a home.

I work very well one-on-one, where I can give my full attention to one student. I am highly skilled in nearly all aspects and mediums of art. My favorite medium is pen and ink. I go about this the old fashioned way most of the time using a nib pen and potted ink. Another medium high on my list is oil paint. I love the smooth consistency and the forgiving qualities of oil paints. I have always had the confidence of knowing that I can teach anyone to be an artist; all they must have is the "want to" and "desire" to become an artist. I can give any student the skill sets that they will need to enter the world of art from basic to advanced.

If you are serious about wanting to become an artist then please contact me. I will find out exactly what skill set you already possess and begin your lessons from that point. I'll be with you every step of the way throughout your learning. I'm very detail oriented and I want you to be the best artist you can be." less...
