Experience

I bring over 25 years of painting experience to my seminars with an emphasis on the basic use of our products to maximize our creative talents in painting. The objective of my seminars include creating our own unique designs instead of copying another artists interpretation, through the use of real subject matter and/or photos. I provide color photos, step by step copies of the piece, and instructions. I like for students to leave the seminar feeling comfortable painting that subject or a like subject matter on any size/shape of porcelain. I try to include different texture methods in each subject. My style tends to be colorful and detailed and my seminars relaxed and sharing. References can be provided upon request. Below are pictures of some of the subject matter I have previously taught seminars in.
