I love inspiring and guiding others to explore their self-expression on canvas . My art classes are casual, friendly and supportive. I believe there is an artist inside all of us. I am excited to help others recognize that in themselves! I have always been fascinated in all forms of Art. Living in central Maine I am surrounded by nature and that fuels my inspiration. I see so much beauty in the simplicity of everyday things. I am most drawn to acrylic painting, loving it's bold and vivid colors. Though I have formal Art training, I have developed my own style and technique. I incorporate the use of real elements into a hybrid style mixed media for an unexpected whimsical twist! My art has been exhibited in local art galleries, business establishments and I have also sold my work throughout the United States
