I'm thrilled to announce that I'm opening up dog portrait commissions again and supporting the Animal Protection Society of Durham during the month of August. In reviewing my history of making dog portraits, I recognized that I was building momentum in creating more portraits just prior to the Pandemic. With my relocation to NC, I've completed a couple, but haven't been able to promote them. My studio is almost 100% finished (enough that it is operable) and the renovations in our home are complete. Now, as we move into the Dog Days of Summer, I'm ready to officially open them up and donate 10% of the profits of all booked portraits to APS.

Have you been needing some one on one support to get you through that difficult moment in a painting? Or maybe you stopped making art and need someone to guide you back in? 

Earlier this year I worked with a former student from NJ who had enrolled in several of my workshops but had never completed one of the paintings she had started. We worked together over several weeks to get to a point of near-finish. She felt confident after our sessions to continue painting. I have to check back in with her, but I know that our time was well-spent. 

Thinking about working with me privately? Here’s what a former student recently wrote me about classes I taught in NJ: 

“Over the years, you have been the most knowledgeable instructor we’ve had. No class has compared in learning experiences, structure, clarity and overall robustness. You devote yourself to your students. That plus the fact that you are generally such a nice person!” - Linda

READY TO START? You can either email me questions or book a package directly on my site. Once booked, I'll contact you with my Calendly link to find session times. Currently, I have limited weekday availability beginning next week, open through September 1st. If you know that doesn't work for you, email me and we'll see what else I can accommodate.

NJ student's painting - state upon which we began working together again. 

Almost finished painting by my NJ-based student. She had to work at understanding how to remix colors and apply the paint in a way that felt cohesive with the painting she had already done. We did all of this work virtually through Zoom.
