Teaching kids 4 - 12 years of age ...!

Are you looking for some fun filled & educational art classes for your child/children?

If so, you have found the right place as I have experience working with and teaching kids for 15 years!
I’m a graduate of the Ontario College of art & design university and have taught hundreds of kids at schools across the GTA through non-for profit organizations such as DiscoverAbility, after school programs and privately. I have been working in art education at the Art Gallery of Ontario for the past 12 years.
I teach painting with acrylics, mixed media and collage, printmaking and fine arts crafts, especially for the younger kids.
Summertime is especially great to start classes. I work with children 4 to 12 years of age. The classes are definitely more engaging and fun if there is a small group of children. (up to 5) The kids enjoy themselves more among their peers and seeing each other’s work will be more interesting and inspiring for them.
I provide all the materials for the class.

Here are some details: 

DURING COVID TIMES
I’m fully vaccinated, indoors I will wear a mask and if you have an outdoor space I am happy to work there.

Class duration: 

I teach for 1.5 hrs duration per class with the first class available at 10-11:30 am.
You can let me know what time of the day you prefer and depending on availability I will work out a preferred time slot for you.
You can book 1 class a week or even book a class for the full week. ( summer camp idea )

Custom made ... !



... couple of commissioned pieces I was working on the past week.  The earrings I made for a lovely lady who wanted to match one of my wire rings she had purchased ... the necklace now belongs to a lady who wanted to give herself a special birthday gift! ... she wanted something fun and colorful & I was happy to deliver!

Jewelry section updated ... !

It's taken a while, but I have updated the Jewelry section of my blog with lots more pictures.  The pictures include previously sold pieces, some still available, ... most, currently on sale at Shop AGO. 

Made it onto SNAP!

Remember that Sketchbook Challenge a while back? ... and the opening night at ARTiculations? ... Leslie from SNAP Bloor West was in attendance at the opening, photographing the event.  I was happy to learn my picture and my sketchbook made it onto their paper along with an article she wrote about the event !

Jewelry debut at the AGO!

I am so very happy that some of my jewelry pieces, ... rings and earrings have made it to the Art Gallery of Ontario shop.  My jewelry made it to the AGO  shop with the start of the new Picasso exhibit.  This is a very big accomplishment for me, as I started making jewelry only recently.  I also owe a very big thank you to everyone who has been supporting and encouraging me along the way.

Below are a few of the pieces that are currently at the AGO shop! ... I will be posting more images of the pieces in the jewelry section of my blog.









Invite ... Transmission, photo response!

Painting for "photo response exhibit" ... !

8" x 8" / Mixed media

The mixed media piece above is a piece that I made for the "photo response exhibition" at Art Works Art Gallery .  For this exhibit the participants were challenged to create a 2 dimentional piece of art based on their reaction or response to a particular image which was provided by the curator of the show.

The response to the image could be sensory and emotional, and could simply be based on the colors of the picture,  ... or the artist could be inspired by the implied theme/s within the image and their response, a social, political or environmental reaction. 

Work in progress ...

I like being part of group shows such as this ... because in participating, I feel that I allow myself a challenge.  What is the challenge you ask? ... well, the challenge for me is  approaching themes and subject matters that I would maybe not consider on my own and it is also letting go of my usual approach to the start of a painting and letting go of my "painting style" ... and in that there is also a sense of freedom, because I am giving myself an opportunity to explore, even if the exploration is in experimentation with the medium and painting techniques!
