Teaching & Videos
Pastel Classes
I am teaching a Pastel Painting class for all levels of students at McCord Gallery In Palos Park. I will set up a still life each week and students may either work from this or bring their own photo references from which to work. This class will encourage individual exploration of subject, materials, and style. Guided critiques of student work will take place during class.
Class is 6 sessions once a week on Wednesday mornings.

The Wheaton Library and Dupage Art League arranged for me to do a zoom demo of a still life painting. They recorded the session and it is now available for viewing on YouTube. Use the link below to view.
Video of My NICAA Artist Talk
In 2020 Northwest Indiana Community Art Association (NICAA) arranged for me to do an lecture about my art and process for their group. When the in-person event was canceled due to Covid restrictions they arranged to have me record a video of my talk.
