Fall Classes 2015

Hello there, and welcome to the start of school season. I hope everyone is off to a great start. I am teaching again! Yesssss! And very happy to do so. Classes will be a little different this fall. No more teaching out of my Santa Cruz studio. I will be teaching in Aptos again, right next door to Aptos Street BBQ. 8061 Aptos Street Aptos, CA 95003 to be exact. Some of you have been to this location before, when I was teaching here a couple years ago. It is a bright and beautiful place. Starting on September 28, classes will be held every Monday there starting in the morning for pre k and Kindergartners and onto the afternoon for elementary ages. I am so happy to be teaching again. Did I say this already?

I will also be posting my workshops schedule that will be held on the weekends starting in October. Many of these will be canvas or holiday inspired, a good way to do some art on the side if you are too busy during the week.

Either way, I hope to see you soon!
