Has someone special in your life expressed a wish that they could paint?

You can indulge that wish with a GIFT CERTIFICATE in any denomination.

You will receive a beautiful certificate with the recipients name and yours and a description of the session you have chosen, Creativity Clinic, Creativity Boost, or Private Class.
Your lucky recipient can schedule session any time during the next year, choose a different type of class, or apply certificate value toward art.

PRIVATE CLASSES ARE STILL AVAILABLE.
Get the help you need to take your watermedia paintings to the next level.
OR simply to begin to paint.

Consider private classes if you answer "yes" to any of the following questions:

Are you unable to find classes to fit your schedule?
Are you in search of specific information that isn't offered in the classes you find?
Are you tired of "social event" classes that waste your precious painting time?
Do you want to have your teacher's undivided attention during your painting session?
Do you prefer to learn and paint quietly, without the distraction of other students?

Say "yes" to yourself. Consider treating yourself to private classes if your answer is "yes":

If you have been told you have no talent, MY EXPERIENCE has shown me that
Everyone can learn to paint for their personal pleasure.

A few classes can open the door to years of painting pleasure.
Private classes can provide a safe way for you to open doors slammed shut by negative comments when you were a sensitive child.
Consider treating yourself to your own private classes, on your schedule.
Many of my private students have been doctors, engineers, attorneys... all very focused, results-oriented, intelligent people who were easily able to begin painting with my help.
Salespeople, busy moms, teachers, office managers. 

If your job produces stress and demands solutions, you will be pleasantly surprised at how stress disappears and solutions appear as you immerse yourself in the sheer joy of painting.

Schedule your own  private classes in my centrally located private studio in Midtown Houston.

Learn to paint the things (or thoughts & feelings) that you want to paint, regardless of your present skill level. You will see results from the very first class. I empower you to see that you can paint.

My mission is to empower more people with the power of art, NOT to create lifetime students for me.

I designed this unique painting class and taught it at WAS-H in the fall of 2006. I am making a DVD exploring the wonderful versatility of experimental surfaces used with watercolor.

If the class inspires you, please ask me to notify you  when the DVD is ready.

Yupo, Claybord, watercolor canvas, masa paper, gessoed paper & other treated papers will be explored in this class. Working on these surfaces encourages your spontaneity and creativity, while expanding your understanding of how watercolor paint behaves and why.

Join me in this innovative class on DVD, as we explore these intriguing non-traditional surfaces. I will demonstrate each surface. I encourage you to try them and to pick your favorite one or two for more intense work. Learn how the paint behaves and why. Play and ask questions.

You will learn to notice carefully and to respond confidently to the paint. And you will have a lot of fun!

Unconventional surfaces encourage our creativity. Since the paint behaves unexpectedly, it challenges us to respond in new ways. Paint becomes our playmate, our partner. We have a conversation with the paint. We play games with it. The resulting painting clearly shows the joy and spontaneity that created it.

Creativity involves exploratory thinking. Sometimes, in our quest to become expert painters, we concentrate so hard on doing specific things in the specific "techniques" we have been taught, that we forget to play. Painting becomes work, and the finished piece becomes labored. But when we play, magical things happen. Creativity grows! We become much more creative!! This class on a DVD will expand your creativity.

If this class appeals to you and your artistic spirit, please email me to be notified when my DVD becomes available.

I am available for private consultations to help with your marketing plan, your marketing materials, artist statement, website design, portfolio, or goals. Email me with the nature of your desired information. I will reply to arrange your personal appointment. This works best for local artists, but can sometimes be done by phone, mail or email.
