WELCOME!
I offer instruction in drawing, cartooning, watercolor and oil painting, including the Bob Ross Technique. As an instructor for over 25 years' experience, I am dedicated to helping everyone of all ages unlock their creative side and to develop to their full potential, while having fun!
NY State certificate of merit
I was honored to receive this award for my teaching activities. Additionally, I am BOCES certified and have been fingerprinted.
On the TODAY SHOW
I was invited by an NBC producer. I had a wonderful time teaching Kathie Lee and Hoda how to paint a landscape. This was my second visit. My first opportunity was on location at Borders Books. The staff and producers were so kind.
WHERE I HAVE TAUGHT PAST AND PRESENT
Over the years I have taught countless numbers of kids at many schools and locations. Each school was and is wonderful in its own way. From kindergarten to middle school, I enjoyed opening up the imaginations of the children. Many are surprised to see what they can create. What remains constant is the energy and vibrancy they bring with them. This of course is a source of youthful energy for me which imbues my teaching. ...mjteator@gmail.com
I am passionate about art and committed to helping my students reach their full potential. I provide personalized instruction and guidance to help each adult or child achieve. At first, many feel they have little artistic ability and are self defeating. Practice opens the door. And in my class judgements are gently constructive but what is important is the student's contribution to their personal growth.
Along with my children's classes I instruct adults. I offer adults either privately or corporately, an opportunity to de-stress with art. It's especially important for adults to have a creative outlet considering how stressful life can be. Art will make you forget your problems. I will help you relax. And whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, I have a subject that will challenge, de-stress and inspire you. Contact me to discuss...mjteator@gmail.com
Nothing compares to teaching drawing and painting to my students. I began teaching 25 years ago and every single day I am grateful to have enlightened my students to the visual wonders of nature. And for me, teaching after school and lunchtime programs, has enriched my love of teaching even more.
