I am an experienced instructor with formal training in training and development.  I am also an excellent public speaker and love being before people sharing the knowledge I've accumulated over the past decade.  I am dedicated to providing the best artistic workshop I can. I have put a lot of time, experience and know-how towards my teaching technique.  So here's what to expect.

I have people paint along with me as much as possible.  I go around at critical points to assist each student with their execution.  I review and test with questions to reinforce the learning and to share that everyone (even the really good painters) have something to learn.  I find this helps prove there presence of a 

judge-free zone and bring a sense of togetherness with each other.  I use my humor to keep the atmosphere light, friendly, warm and fun...then I drill as much knowledge I can into your brain.  People learn more when they're having fun.  I have always had a knack at explaining things to people.  As you can see from a small sample of my student's self painted robotic metal arms, the results speak for themselves.  Most people who attended these classes did not think that they could paint like this and were surprised at how easy it was when the day was done.

 At the end of the sessions everyone has at least one great picture for their portfolios and dozens of other photos to remember the experience.  I share info, step by steps, handouts and do my best to keep in contact with previous students in an attempt to keep the tribe unified and together.  

Because Face Painting is AWESOME!
