Instruction

Teaching

Courses for aspiring authors and illustrators, taught in the belief that anyone can learn the fundamentals of traditional art and carry them into any medium they choose.

World-Building

Developing a consistent visual world — place, palette, and mood a story can live in.

Character Design

Turning a description into a character with a recognizable, repeatable presence across a book.

Storyboarding

Pacing a picture book from thumbnails to spreads, and planning the page turn.

Drawing Fundamentals

Human anatomy and foundational drawing — the base every medium and style is built on.

Classes are open to students of all ages and every level of experience, in person and online. Group courses and one-to-one mentoring are both available.
