Leonardo da Vinci is my art hero. His endless genius, his love of art, life, living, the earth, animals and his awe-inspiring creations that are STILL teaching us so much. I am an arts advocate for those interested in discovering and mastering their in-born artist! Fine art lessons and art camps are how I share my love for art, art-making and the encouragement of creative self expression. Learning while living our LIVES through the arts is a life well lived. "Artists Are Cultural Heroes" is our main motto. Without creative thoughts and innovative action, there would be no progress for us as a species. Artists create the art, and the art itself stands the test of time, allowing artists to leave behind a legacy living beyond our physical lives. Which leads me to our second motto of, "We Are Artists, Not Mere Mortals". I invite you to scroll through his Seven Principles of Learning seen above.
All students who grace the space of the Inspiration Studio
inadvertently learn through them.
