Drawing More Than a Stickman
Unleashing Creativity Since 2008
I believe that everyone can learn to draw, and by making that first step each person will rediscover their own creative voice. Since I came to art later in life, I understand the inner dialog that holds us back - and how to quiet it. Therefore, my main focus is working with adults and young adults who have blocked creativity. I show every student who comes to me that it’s only their perspective that is stopping them.
I recommend that students start with my Drawing More Than a Stickman class which unearths the negative self-view that hampers creative energy flow. Students can choose from several drawing and painting classes in a wide range of media and skill levels. Private lessons, mentorship and lesson parties are all available.
The Zoom Classroom
My classes are available in-person or via Zoom for distance learning. Zoom allows students to relax in their own homes or with a familiar group to learn. Still an interactive class, students will see demos and get feedback on their work in real time. LEARN MORE
