The painting above is the finished version of the demonstration that I started at the Emerald Art Center on November 11. It is based on a childhood memory of running away from home.

I am looking for takers. If you know of anyone who might be interested in my workshops, please share this with them

”Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.” ~Steven Pressfield

I’m offering a workshop next weekend, November 9, 10 & 11, at the Emerald Art Center in Springfield, Oregon.

In ‘Light Your Creative Spark’ we will be studying ways to enhance creativity through the use of mixed water media, quick studies and design elements. The three days will be chock full of creative inspiration. The class is only $185 for members of EAC or $205 for non-members. I promise to make it worth your investment.

One of my favorite things about classes that I’ve taught is that each student’s individuality shines through. The paintings that are created in my classes are born of each students’ unique ideas, not my ideas. None of the work ends up looking like my work; it ends up looking like yours! (Only better!) The Emerald Art Center is a great facility, and is close to the Eugene Regional Airport and to lodging.

Each time I show my work I’m asked if I teach classes. I do! I really enjoy sharing my creative process with others, and those who have taken workshops with me rave about them. Read some of their reactions on my Workshops Page.

Teaching is an art, and I have studied it well. You will find that my degree in Education has helped me tailor my classes to all levels, and provide an organized, thought-provoking workshop that will leave you with loads of ideas for future paintings. There are still spaces available for this workshop, but registration ends November 1, so act now! Sign up by phoning the Emerald Art Center: 541-726-8595.
