New Online Art Lessons!

Now Offering Private Online Lessons (through Zoom):

After years of running a small art academy (Tacoma Academy of Fine Art), along with various teaching gigs and students, I am creatively adapting to the current social distancing situation, and will be starting online art classes through Zoom. I am now taking on students for private lessons. I am excited for this new opportunity!

Lessons will be taught in 1-hour intervals

Due to the c-19 crisis, I want to make these lessons affordable, while still making an income for myself. Therefore, I will be charging on a sliding scale. $40 per hour is the base rate (this is a discounted rate off my normal fee), with discounts available to those in financial need, and increases appreciated from those who can afford it.

Structure: I will be taking the classical atelier approach to curriculum. Beginning students focus on drawing, then progress to grayscale painting, and finally their studies culminate with color painting (see examples below). I use this approach as a basis, although I will also consider other approaches and courses of study, per student's appeal. Duration of curriculum, goals, and meeting times will be discussed on an individual basis, with students.
