It’s always a good time to paint.

I paint whenever I can. I mean, it’s like a guilty pleasure. If I’m not working in the studio then I’m working at my day job as a graphic artist. But painting is such a great way to escape and relax. I love to be alone in my studio with something on in the background - it’s just enough distraction that I don’t get too deep into my own head and start to doubt the decisions I am making. The other way I distract myself is by painting with others. There is something magical about working with a group. I like to lead and help (which I do a lot) but I also just like seeing the happiness and joy a community of painters has when they are all working at the same time. It’s a bit like group drumming, except alot more quiet. If you’ve never tried it, I encourage you to.

My studio is currently open by appointment only. Since I’ve gone back to work full-time, I am not taking on any new students. However, feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to chat about art, I’m always happy to help. If you do come to the studio, expect to be greeted by my rescue dog Murphy. I’m still painting live on Zoom on the first and third Wednesday of each month. It’s a good time to dedicate a few hours to practicing your art and a chance to be with other artists as they explore their own paths in painting. If you’re interested, please reach out to me via email and I can add you to the list.
