I love watercolor.  After working exclusively in this medium for over 30 years, teaching brings a unique joy, sharing my knowledge and watching my students progress and discover.  My approach may differ from other teachers, but my goal is always the same…helping my students find their own style and voice using the methods I impart.  Teaching what I know is sheer pleasure for me.  I thoroughly enjoy it and get as much as I give.

My experience as Artist in Residence on Holland America Cruise Line gave me the unique opportunity to teach absolute beginners in a relaxed atmosphere. I learned how to teach thru some rough seas but also improvise with what I had.

Although I love teaching I am not teaching right now. I am using that energy for me and my painting, but I really enjoyed showing people how to paint watercolor.
