I don’t have any classes or workshops on the calendar right now, as my primary focus will be making new work for a solo show at Ming Toy Gallery in November 2025. A previous six-week class offering is described below, and the video above is from a 2-hour painting workshop. I expect to offer some classes and workshops next year.

Past offering: Explore painting and bolster creativity

Take a deeper dive into your own creativity while exploring color, texture and other elements of art during a 6-week session. We’ll focus on painting with oils and cold wax, which offers a wide range of possibilities for expression and creative play. You’ll learn about tools, materials and new ways to use them. You’ll work with oil paints and cold wax medium on both archival paper and on panels. In addition to painting, we’ll think broadly about creativity as we use a journal or sketchbook to support our efforts. 

This class combines in-class demonstrations, self-directed work with instructor input, and guidance on exercises to complete on your own, all designed to strengthen your artistic practices. The class is open to anyone from relative novices to experienced artists investigating new materials and techniques. You’ll use your own materials supplemented by supplies and tools available in my studio. 

Class limited to 6 participants

Fee: $300 + materials
