MY STORY
From Overwhelmed to Free
I didn’t start out knowing exactly what to do. Like many artists, I had to work through uncertainty, overthinking, and the feeling that every decision might be wrong.
Over time, I learned that strong paintings are not built from talent alone. They come from understanding a few key ideas: color, composition, value, movement, and when to stop.
That journey shaped the way I teach today. I break the process into clear, practical lessons so you can build confidence, make your own choices, and enjoy painting more.
MY TEACHING APPROACH
Simple Process. Real Results.
I break abstract painting into clear steps so you can stop overthinking and start creating with more confidence.

Learn how to choose and layer colors that work together.
Clear Composition
Build balanced paintings with simple, repeatable ideas.
Progress Over Perfection
Focus on growth instead of trying to get every mark exactly right.
Paintings You’re Proud to Hang
