Learn to Skate Camp - Bring on Spring Break Sarasota County! Come join us one day, two days or all three days for our spring break camp. It’s gonna be beautiful out so why not get outside. If you need boards, helmets or pads we will provide them. Plus there will be plenty of drinks and snacks.

I have taught fine art lessons to children ages 6 through high school by appointment both during the day (homeschoolers) and after school as well as on Saturdays and in summer art camps for over 20 years in Sarasota. I focus on creating realistic art with techniques and proper tool usage. I teach graphite, acrylic, colored pencil and mixed media with drawing being the foundation of all projects and our famous self portraits being the first project for students 8 and older.
