I have a BFA in watercolor painting from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. When I first enrolled I planned to study illustration, but everything changed when I was introduced to watercolor. I was captivated. It’s a medium that’s often seen as unpredictable or difficult, but I found that it could be tamed and shaped. You can learn to make it do exactly what you want it to do. The challenge and balance of control and spontaneity, is what keeps me coming back. Besides teaching, I am a nationally exhibited and internationally published fine artist.
One of the most rewarding things about teaching is hearing my students say, “I felt so relaxed, ” or “I forgot about everything else for a little while.” I love that. Helping people carve out time for creativity and find calm in the process is such a gift. My classes are about more than just technique, they’re about slowing down, getting into a flow, and discovering what watercolor can do for you.
Watercolor has a reputation for being unforgiving, but I love showing people how it can actually be incredibly freeing. Mistakes often become part of the beauty. It’s not about perfection—it’s about letting go a little and learning how to work with the paint rather than against it. My goal is to demystify the medium and make it approachable, even for absolute beginners.
I have been teaching ever since graduating in 2018, and I founded my business in 2022. With years of experience and hundreds of students, I’ve taught everyone from total beginners to returning artists. My online classes attract adult students of all ages, and I’ve also led live sessions for groups and organizations looking for a creative, relaxing outlet. Whether it’s one-on-one or in a group setting, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where people feel encouraged and inspired.
