As I watch the progress of my students who come from different backgrounds and ability levels, I am so impressed with their artistic expressiveness. 

" I can't draw or paint!" students come to realize to their amazement that they can learn various processes of mark making. Translating observation into line and values, learning to see a subject beyond preconceived symbol sets sharpens their observation skills, transforming their view of the world by seeing patterns and compositions outside the studio, deepening their appreciation of life.

Taking risks, experimenting with unfamiliar media, tapping into their life experiences to bring forth their individuality takes courage as does showing their work in public, gaining confidence and producing expressive works of art that are uniquely their own. I celebrate their accomplishments and thank each of them for sharing their enthusiasm and journey with me. I look forward to seeing where their art takes them next!
