TEACHING ART AT SADDLEBACK COLLEGE

In working with students in my Drawing and Printmaking classes, I focus on giving each student, regardless of their abiltity level, a strong foundation in the art elements and techniques for a successful career in Art.

I love teaching and am quite proud of each and every student’s accomplishments in my class and the art program in general.

Students from my classes and our art program have transferred to some of the top art schools in the United States including, Art Center Pasadena, San Francisco Art Institute, U.Cal Berkeley, U.C.L.A., Otis School of Art, Kansas City Art Institute, Chicage Art Institute, Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, San Diego State, Laguna Beach School of Art.

Many have exhibited their work in the Sawdust Festival, Art Affair and Festival of the Arts.

And……..many have enjoyed taking classes at Saddleback College to fulfill lifetime dreams of making art.

Whatever area you fit into, you are always welcome.
