| Introduction | I am an artist and art teacher who thoroughly enjoys art history, drawing, pen and ink, watercolor and especially drawings of botanicals and the insect world. I have taught several art classes in the last five years, encouraging beginners and advanced students alike to see elements of shape, design and detail at a level that they have not known. My students have ranged in age from 3 to 64; my methods are adaptable for all ages. I am in the process of becoming a vendor for charter schools in the Auburn area, but I also teach private lessons as well as groups of individuals not associated with charter schools.
