Private Art Lessons & Portfolio Mentoring
Art Instruction for Ages 8+ to 80+
It's never too early or too late to learn how to create!
I offer personalized art lessons for students ages 8 and up, from curious beginners to experienced artists looking to refine their skills. Whether you're a child discovering drawing for the first time, a teenager building a portfolio, or an adult returning to art after many years, lessons are tailored to meet you where you are.
Every student learns differently. I adapt my teaching style, projects, and pace to fit each individual's goals, interests, abilities, and learning preferences. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students can develop technical skills, creative confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for art.
Class Rate: $100 per hour
Classes provided in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and surrounding areas.
Portfolio Reviews & Professional Development
For artists interested in exhibiting their work, I offer portfolio reviews and professional guidance based on more than seven years of experience working in the museum industry.
Whether you are preparing to submit work to a gallery, museum exhibition, juried competition, I can help you:
Select and edit artwork for submissions
Strengthen the presentation of your portfolio
Photograph and document artwork effectively
Write artist statements and biographies
Prepare exhibition proposals and application materials
Understand common expectations of galleries and museums
Develop a cohesive body of work
As someone who has spent years working behind the scenes in museums—coordinating exhibitions, working directly with artists, and helping bring exhibitions to life, I can offer practical feedback from both an artist's and museum professional's perspective.
Portfolio reviews are available in person in Baton Rouge or remotely through Zoom.
