Encouragement for Your Artistic Journey

I believe we are uniquely created with a beautiful God given design and purpose, and our creative interests are part of it.

No matter where we are on the artistic journey, there are new ways to explore, to learn ~ to become.

My name is Helen.  I’ve loved creative pursuits as long as I can remember.  As a visual artist, I’ve created, exhibited and sold my work across the US, in Europe and in Asia.
I’m also a fine arts instructor.
Over the last several decades, I’ve taught thousands of students to draw and paint.

 practical tips and instruction!

It’s exciting to teach and encourage artists as they learn and perfect their skills.  And I love helping artists gain confidence and freedom in their work by teaching with a positive approach!  Through my blog articles or by taking one of my lessons or courses, you will be excited to watch your artistic skills grow!

Isn’t it Time to Live into your  Beautiful design with confidence?
