Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Simply fill out and submit the interest form above and I will be in-touch shortly. We'll set-up a free studio visit to discuss your goals and I'll share how the program works in-detail. Then you can decide if it will be a good fit before committing to anything.
How long is the program?
The Core Program is self-paced, so it depends on how quickly you work and how much you do at home between weekly sessions. Some students achieve their goal in a couple months, others have been with me for years.
How much is tuition?
Monthly tuition includes all weekly in-person class sessions, flexible monthly enrollment, small class size, 24/7 access to all online instructional content, personalized feedback from a professional instructor, and unlimited text/email Q&A, etc. for $249/month.
How long do I have to commit for?
Students enroll on a month-to-month basis so you are only committed to one month at a time. This allows for maximum flexibility throughout the year.
I'm a beginner, is that OK?
Yes! You do not need any experience or "talent" to achieve amazing results. We start from the ground-up and establish the proper mindset, then get started with the materials you'll need and go from there.
What age range is this for?
I work with students from age 12-13 all the way up to retirees in their 80s. Whether preparing for post-secondary programs, enjoying it as a hobby, or developing a side-gig, art is fantastic for all seasons of life.
How many students per session?
There are up to eight students per session. I keep the numbers small so that I can provide plenty of feedback for each student.
Do you offer one-on-one lessons?
No, due to schedule constraints I do not offer one-on-one, in-person lessons. However I do offer an online version of the program in which we do a 1-on-1 virtual call each month along with personalized feedback videos of your work. Click here if you are interested in learning more.
