One-on-One Private Art Sessions
Let’s work together!
Private Painting Lessons · San Diego & Online
A small, intentional studio tucked inside San Diego’s historic Liberty Station — or brought directly to you, wherever you are.
These one-on-one sessions are built around your goals: refining technique, trying new mediums, or finally making consistent time to paint. Two focused hours- yours completely.
Small group lessons and ongoing mentorship are available by request.
Spots are limited and not open to the general public — this is a private studio, and I keep it that way on purpose. If it feels like a fit, start with a complimentary discovery call and we'll go from there.
