Art Classes

Class study
in charcoal

Drawing on her education as well as her experience as an artist, Michele teaches a variety of adult art classes, including basic drawing, watercolor, landscape painting, composition, and calligraphy.

A current class schedule is listed on this web site. Or, if you live in or near Prince William County, VA, Michele can set up a class just for your group. A minimum of 3 students is all that's required. (Contact me.)

Matting & Framing
Local artists and collectors who are tired of paying gallery prices for basic matting & framing jobs, check with Michele for simple, low-cost alternatives. Nothing fancy, but it protects your work just the same. (Contact me.)

Web pages
I am not a professional web designer but if asked I will create basic pages for other artists for a small fee. Click here to see sample pages. (Contact me.)
