Private & Semi-Private Art Lessons

I’m currently taking reservations for Private and Semi-Private art students for the Spring semester.  Private lessons and semi-private art lessons offer you a flexible schedule where you can study the unit you choose at a pace that works for you. If you are interested please let me know so that we can discuss the details.  Additionally this Summer due to the lack of interest in my group art classes, I will only be offering private and semi-private lessons.
