Private Art Lessons with a Veteran Art Educator

I’m a certified art teacher in Howard County, Maryland, with over 20 years of experience teaching K–12 students, including AP 2D Design. I’m also a practicing portrait artist and illustrator. My work has been exhibited in galleries, featured in national media, and published in children’s books. I bring both classroom expertise and real-world art practice to every lesson, helping students grow their skills and discover their own creative voice.

Media, Techniques & Creative Goals
Lessons are shaped around your interests and goals. Some students want to try new media like acrylic, watercolor, graphite, or clay. Others want to explore different styles — from realistic portrait drawing to bold, graphic illustration, pop-surreal characters, or expressive, colorful painting. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your work further, I’ll help you build a strong foundation and develop your artistic direction.

I offer guidance in:

• Drawing (graphite, charcoal, colored pencil)
• Painting (acrylic, watercolor, oil)
• Sculpture (clay, hand-building)
• Digital media
• Portfolio development & critique

All ages and skill levels are welcome.

Format & Pricing
Lessons take place in the comfort of your home. All materials are included unless we decide otherwise.

• $100 for a 1-hour lesson 
• $70 for a 40-minute lesson

I’m based near Columbia, Maryland, and typically travel within the local area.
