ABOUT My ONLINE and IN-PERSON Art Parties

I have taught people of all skill levels and ages over the years.

People find my art events both fun and encouraging. I give step-by-step instruction then wander through the group giving personal attention and sharing tips. The participant who thinks they can't pull anything creative off often ends up proudly displaying their piece online, at home or work. Just gather your friends and enquire!

Just GATHER your People

Gather a few of your family, friends, or colleagues for any kind of party...

a date night, a girls night out, bachelorette, a kid's or adult's birthday party.

ANY age is welcome and NO art skills are needed! We'll discuss the size of your group and any exceptionalities we might adjust for. Larger team-building events and school visits can be accommodated.

IF ONLINE: it's best if every person has their own screen to join the Zoom call.
