When you purchase the video, I’ll send you a pdf that includes: a link to the video, a complete materials list and helpful resources. The workshop is self-paced and, you’ll have life time access to it once you’ve downloaded the video. I encourage you to watch the different sections as many times as you want to glean new tips, master a technique or problem solve. You can watch it on a computer, smartphone, or tablet, wherever you have an internet connection.

As an artist and art therapist I love to teach people of all ages. I’ve been teaching since I was in college and enjoying introducing students to new techniques, showing them how to find their own style and helping to make the complex easy to understand. From art centers to university, I’ve enjoyed teaching people and believe that I always have as much to learn as the students.
