About Instructor: After retiring from Nursing, I began to paint, I have always loved to draw, and this seemed like the next step up.  Since then, I have taken probably a dozen classes in different subjects such as watercolor, acrylics, mixed media, and a basket class.  I continue to take classes as I feel you can always learn something new! I work in several mediums including pyrography, watercolor, acrylics, mixed media, graphite, and colored pencils.
