I believe that anyone can learn to draw.
Art is like a muscle, and like any other muscle, it needs to be exercised and carefully trained
in order to grow to it’s full potential
While some have natural talent, it’s usually the lack of exercise and simple ignorance in foundational techniques that leaves people “wishing they could draw”, and not a lack of ability.
Care to prove me right?
I am a classically trained fine artist, but I actually taught art professionally on the side for years before I had our first baby. A few years ago I grew angry when I saw that so many artists and educators were selling “cookie cutter” methods that didn’t actually teach people how to draw—it only trapped them in the formula provided and stole their confidence if they tried to draw anything else.
Not on my watch!
If nobody else was going to teach these artists how to succeed, then I would do it.
I’m passionate about teaching fine art techniques in a way that is easy to digest and to implement. My goal is to provide the foundation that you need to develop as an artist—so that you can create in your own style and do what you love.

FAQ
Q: What art supplies do you recommend?
A: I am a firm believer that the tools are not as important as the technique. I’ve seen people make things with crayola crayons that would knock your socks off! However, once you reach a certain skill level, it does become really helpful to invest in higher quality tools. I have a running list of my favorite art supplies LINKED HERE.
Q: How long did you teach art?
A: I’ve been teaching professionally for over 8 years now! (great, now I feel old… didn’t I just graduate???)
Q: Why do you only post a new YouTube video once a month
A: YouTube is such a small part of my business. The videos are there to help support my larger blog posts, but they aren’t paying my bills! Thus, they are low on the priority scale.
