I'm an illustrator and educator, offering observational drawing classes in the Cambridge / Belmont / Arlington (MA) area, at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Arlington Center for the Arts, Cambridge Center for Adult Education, and private classes 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...
This site is still in progress - but my Winter 2009 classes are listed below. Please click on the links for details.
