Pencil & Charcoal Portraits

Here you can see the depth and emotion we capture using just pencil and charcoal. We focus on techniques for shading, texture, and capturing a true likeness, whether working from a photo or imagination.

Exploring Color: Watercolors & Oils

We also explore the world of color through watercolor and oil painting. These workshops cover everything from mixing colors and layering washes to creating vibrant, lifelike portraits.

Young Artists at Work

I find immense joy in teaching children and teenagers, and I am so proud of what they create. This gallery shows students as young as 8 years old learning fundamental skills and bringing their own portraits to life.

Animal & Still Life Studies

Portrait skills are not just for people. We often practice shading, texture, and form by drawing animals and objects, which helps build a strong foundation for any subject.

Community and Exhibitions

Art is also about community, learning from others, and sharing our work. Here are a few moments from art walks, public demonstrations, and exhibitions where my students and I have participated.
