I have many passions – but my first is art. I am both a painter and an instructor. One of the most rewarding parts of my career in art has been teaching. For me there is nothing more fulfilling than when I see the eyes of a new student who accomplishes a project they are truly proud of or a more experienced student achieves a new level of excellence.

Over a span of 25 years it has been my privilege to teach at many art institutions such as The McMichael Gallery, The Schomberg School of Art, The Kipling Gallery, Hockley Valley School of Art and of course, Doris Pontieri Art School. Donna Child and her art team have become family to me and our students are a constant source of laughter, joy and excitement. Art is a constant journey and it is my goal to take each of my students on adventure that moves them a little closer to understanding and appreciating the world of fine art.

Our in person art classes are currently on hold due to Covid19, we look forward to resuming them soon. Our recently introduced on-line acrylic and watercolour art lessons have received great reviews and we will continue to expand our roster of lessons going forward. Visit us on-line or in person to learn more!
