"Elaine was able to take me from a person sitting before a blank canvas to a woman who saw herself as an artist!                                            I created a beautiful seascape that gives me such a feeling of pride.
Thank you, Elaine for bringing out such talent in me – 
yes, Me! 
I still can’t believe it!"

Hi, I'm Elaine - and I'm thrilled that you're here!

You want to make some art, and I'd love to make that easy for you.

I've had a long career in art-related fields, teaching art to all ages, illustrating an international children's magazine, and painting works that hang in public and private spaces across the US.

These days I'm happy to guide others into being their already creative selves. I work to bring art curriculum to active senior centers, teach art in my community, and run art programs for kids. Bringing some instruction online helps me to reach YOU - it's my prayer that you can find a means of expressing yourself that makes your heart sing!
