I teach children and young adult in small class setting so that I can give
each student as much individual attention as possible.
The classes are no more
than 8 students at any time and I find this is a great asset in the
development of the young artist.
The courses begin with the drawing basics
using pencil and charcoal to learn about form, line and values to enable them
to give
their work the look of 3 dimensions. The course progresses adding
different media in conjunction with learning about the history of art.
I am a very experienced artist instructor having taught at the Pittsburgh
Center for the Arts , the conservatory of Music in Philadelphia,
McMurray art
league, The Philadelphia School District and many others.

Moon
West Hills Art League:
522 Carnot Rd., Moon Township
Formed in 1967, WHAL was originally
conceived as an association for artists in the districts west of Pittsburgh.
Membership has since expanded to over 75 professional and amateur artists.
The mission of the league is “to promote individual growth of its members and
public appreciation of the arts.” With this purpose in mind, the association
invites a guest artist to demonstrate at each meeting, various workshops are
offered in different mediums, and the league holds an annual juried exhibit that
is open to all members.
WHAL currently holds eight meetings a year, from 7:30 to 10 P.M. on the third
Thursday of each month, with the exception of December, June, July and
August. Beginning in September, meetings will be in the community center of the
