FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In the first session I typically ask the student to describe what they're looking to get out of these lessons as well as share any previous art they've done in the past. We jump right in making a painting or a drawing, and from there I tailor a specific curriculum based on the student's needs and strengths.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
