Join me for 2 sessions (2 hrs each) with the whole family for a private painting workshop in my bright Portsmouth studio. (Optional home visit at additional cost.) These sessions offer thoughtful, individualized instruction in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Open to all levels. All materials are provided.

This workshop is designed for adults and kids to paint TOGETHER on the same canvas, building a beautiful piece of art that everyone helped create. The final product is a masterpiece, no matter what! Kids are kids, and you know your children best. They will need to abstain from eating the paint or being reckless in the studio. Reach out if you have any questions!

We’ll be recreating one of Monet's iconic water lily paintings. I’ll guide you through color mixing, brushwork, and layering techniques that make this style such an approachable and rewarding place to begin. We’ll work on a large canvas using high quality acrylic paint. Impressionism is one of the most accessible styles to dive into, and this session is designed to help you loosen up, trust your eye, and enjoy the process of painting together.

The workshop flows with a demonstration, followed by guided painting time. Two people paint on the canvas at the same time and rotate turns. I’ll offer feedback, answer questions, and help you problem-solve as you work. We'll have kid-friendly art supplies to use while waiting turns. No pressure, we'll keep things flexible. It'll be a truly memorable experience!

Join me for private, 60 minute one-on-one art lessons in my bright Portsmouth art studio. These sessions offer fully personalized instruction tailored to your child's experience and interests, within a focused and supportive environment.

Each lesson begins with a demonstration, followed by guided studio time. I work closely with your child throughout the session, offering clear, constructive feedback as they work. 

All art supplies are provided! All you need to do is show up in paint-ready clothing with a water bottle and snack. For kids under 13, parents are required to stay for the first lesson to ensure that this is a good fit overall, then after that we will decide together if they need to attend the next one.

Lessons will vary and may focus on fundamentals such as drawing, painting, color mixing, brushwork, and composition—or on developing a body of work. Working in acrylic, watercolor, chalk and oil pastels, Prisma colored pencils, collage and mixed media—these sessions are designed for young artists who want to explore art with a professional artist in a working art studio, with fun, playful guidance, thoughtful conversation, and real-life art experiences to absorb.

Many students choose to meet weekly or 1-2 times a month to build momentum and continuity in their work and development.

Join me for private, 90 minute one-on-one painting lessons in my bright Portsmouth studio. These sessions offer fully personalized instruction tailored to your experience, interests, and goals, within a focused and supportive environment.

Each lesson begins with a brief conversation or demonstration, followed by guided studio time. I work closely with you throughout the session, offering clear, constructive feedback as you paint. I’m a direct and open communicator, and critique is part of the process — not to judge the work, but to help you see more clearly, build skills, and move forward with confidence. And we laugh and have fun too ;)

Private lessons are open to all levels, from beginners to experienced painters. Students bring their own supplies, allowing us to work with the materials you’re already using or interested in exploring. If you need assistance with supplies, let me know and we can discuss the path forward.
