Private Watercolor Instruction, Group Workshops & Ongoing Mentorship

I’m so glad you’re here! Thank you for your interest in painting together.

Whether you’re just beginning your watercolor journey or looking to deepen your skills, every session is designed around your individual goals, interests, and experience. We can paint one of my previously taught class projects or work from your own reference photographs and ideas. My goal is to help you grow with confidence while enjoying the creative process.

As an award-winning professional watercolor artist with a Fine Art degree from the University of Georgia, I have the privilege of teaching sold-out workshops locally as well as online students from around the world. I love creating a relaxed, encouraging environment where artists feel supported, challenged, and inspired.
