I'm an illustrator and educator, offering observational drawing classes in and around Cambridge, MA. Classes are located at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Arlington Center for the Arts and Cambridge Center for Adult Education. I also hold private classes and workshops for individuals and groups.

I've always loved to draw, and really enjoy sharing that enthusiasm when I teach. Observational drawing is a fun way to connect to the world around you, to record your experiences, to think through a problem, to respond to nature, to express yourself...

If you'd like to check out some of my illustrations, visit my freelance illustration website: www.mbcgraphics.com ; and you can see more of my work (and work by lots of other amazing artists) at the Science-Art.Com website. I also have a new online store for nature-related prints and gifts at: www.cafepress.com/mbcgraphics

Summer & Fall 2010 classes are listed below. Please click on the links for class details.

For inquiries about current classes, or to receive e-mails about upcoming classes and workshops, please contact me.

Thanks for checking in!
