My goal is to guide you and amplify your ideas - showing the potential of what you can do with the various materials and then letting you loose to see what is possible.

A Note from Helen

"This is such a fun class to teach to both experienced painters and to novices alike. Many people were told they have no talent when it comes to art or they haven't ever tried painting and are not sure if they will be "good". This class is wonderful because I've never had anyone unhappy with their results. The ink almost paints itself... It's so rewarding to watch students deriving such pleasure and satisfaction from this process. I love to share it!" - Helen
