Private Instruction
I currently teach private lessons to a small, dedicated group of students. Beginners to advanced artists are all welcome.
The private lessons take place in my studio in the Jack London Square area of Oakland. We also have a Gallery in the front of the studio area.
If you would like to study oil or watercolor painting with me one-on-one, I offer both an in-person 2-hour “Focused Foundation” ($150) and a 3-hour “Deep Dive” ($200). Please book below.
Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that there is a non-refundable $50 fee for lessons rescheduled within 24 hours or for no-shows.
