Workshops are a great way to get motivated and push yourself to the next level. My classes are for beginners through advanced students and include a step by step introduction to painting with a palette knife. I teach using a “hands on approach” and I promise you that my workshops will help enhance and expand your love for painting! In a three-day workshop the students will typically complete five paintings. My workshops are fun and include lots of time to talk about your art ... whether that includes marketing your art or tips to becoming a “daily painter” ... Every workshop is customized for the students attending each workshop. All of my three day workshops are taught in my new Carriage House Workshop Studio in South Pasadena and are limited to eight students.

“I wanted to thank both of you for what honestly and truly were four of the most amazing days of my life. You have given me so much inspiration, motivation and advice ...” K.B.
“Each of you are great workshop facilitators but having you together in one workshop was the best ever! I loved the way the demonstration and individual artist painting helped cement the instruction in my mind.” F.H.
“This was the best and most informative workshop I have attended. The techniques from both of you were informative and I learned more about the art of painting. The dinners were hosted so graciously and the meals were fabulous!” C.B
“The workshop was too good!”
“This has been a terrific workshop! Such positive and helpful ideas and so much fun. You are wonderful!”
“What an experience and fantastic four day workshop. There aren't enough words to describe how motivated I feel to paint. And I finally think I can call myself an artist, thanks to the two of you. The whole four days was wonderful from start to finish---great space, good snacks, plenty of lighting, excellent teaching, great subject matter to paint, two very helpful and knowledgeable instructors, good wine and gourmet meals--you covered everything.” J.S.
In the Summer of 2011, my husband and I decided to convert our 1915 Carriage House into a permanent workshop studio. Complete with windows and double carriage doors, the studio is located in the backyard of our home. It’s a perfect location and provides all of the amenities needed for a painting workshop. Students can enjoy lunch in my backyard by the pool or under our covered patio (complete with an outdoor fireplace).
The workshops taught in the Carriage House are intimate and personalized and allow me to share one of the things that is most important to me, my home. All of the workshops taught in this location are limited to less than 10 students.
