GETTING STARTED
Painting is a rich and fulfilling adventure! I invite you to join me in an exploration of painting, finding both opportunities and challenges along the way! Alice Neel said “The minute I sat in front of a canvas, I was happy. Because it was a world, and I could do as I like in it.“
I hope you find inspiration and joy from your own painting journey.
