CLASSES

Spending much of her life working in the art world, Barbara has developed a passion for not only creating her own artwork, but inspiring others to do the same.  A former Advertising Art Director and Marketing Communications Manager, she has a unique skill set for presenting simplified methods for learning to draw and paint.  She credits her own success as an artist to gaining a strong foundation in drawing skills, and encourages beginning artists to always start with drawing classes before painting.
 
Note: Barbara's class schedule may change slightly each quarter.
