To receive news of my shows and events, sign up in box to the right.  An open studio is the opportunity to see the space where art is created, hear the music that inspires the artist, and view the most recent work...from greeting cards and small collages to large paintings.    My Blog is here.

My subjects come from my travels, nature and my garden, my memory, and my imagination. I enjoy using color and pattern and a wide variety of artist materials to portray the magical qualities of wonderful places. Please join me in a peaceful place on the border between reality and imagination...a place where time stands still and peace prevails.

You can see some of my recent works at Darke Gallery, 5321 Feagan @ Detering, Houston, Tx, 77007.  Summer hours by appointment: 713-542-3802

If you want to learn to paint, I can help you with PRIVATE PAINTING LESSONS,  focused on you and what you desire to learn.
Private lessons offer the perfect creative opportunity for
          Busy Professionals
          Individuals who travel and cannot commit to regular weekly classes
          Artists with specific questions, problems or creative blocks
          Anyone who wants to paint but never had the opportunity to learn

If you cherish a secret desire to be an artist,   private lessons can make your dream come true.

How you can benefit from private classes if you already are a painter: 

  • If you know what you want your work to look like, but you cannot find anyone to help you figure out how to do it. A new way of painting is an experimental process...I am GREAT at experimenting and figuring out how to do things.
  • If you painted long ago, but fear you have forgotten what you knew, you might be pleasantly surprised at how much you would remember with only a few lessons.
  • If you have unfinished paintings from a workshop you took--and not knowing how to finish them has caused you to lose your confidence--I can help you finish the paintings, even if the reference material has been lost.
  • If you stopped painting when family duties claimed your time and now you are having difficulty starting again, a few private classes can help you reconnect with your lost creativity.

Every human is creative. Looking at art is healing...the process of making art is even more so. Anyone can learn to paint for enjoyment. The tangible reward is being able to adorn your home with your very own paintings. The intangible rewards are MUCH GREATER...and it's fun!

To treat yourself to a private class with me, please call me at 281-330-3827...8 am -8pm C
If you are nourishing a life-long dream of painting, but never had time or opportunity to begin,
private classes offer the perfect solution. I look forward to helping you realize your creative dream.

Ann
