My Education
I am a "self-taught" artist with over 30 years experience. The One Stroke technique that I will be teaching on this site, I did go to certification classes and learned the teaching processes and painting technique.
My Experience
I have been painting for over thirty years in many different techniques of decorative art. I have taught decorative painting in local shops and sold my work in shops, art galleries and shows. Before decorative painting, I made porcelain and cloth dolls and sold them across the U.S. to over 200 shops. Making dolls gave me the experience to share and teach.
My Awards
I received my certification to teach One Stroke painting from Donna Dewberry, after completing multiple test boards that she approved.
