I have been teaching acrylic painting classes in the Phoenix area since 1998. Some of what I teach is professional painting to experienced artists from our local art leagues. But more often I teach fun and easy beginner classes through the City of Phoenix, and various communities around the valley. I used to have a mural business in the Phoenix area, I used to be very involved with gallery shows, and I have also illustrated several children’s books that are featured on Amazon. Now most of my focus is teaching beginners, hoping to inspire in them the same love of art that I have always had. I like to think of it as “Playing with paint”!
