You've always been a creative soul, but have set your art aside because of... well... life.
Isn't it about time you finally prioritized yourself and your passions so that you can become the artist you've always been meant to be?
You deserve to make time for yourself and pursuing those goals your heart has always been telling you to work on.
And you have more than enough time to develop your skills so that you can create original art that brings light to those around you.
Don't let another year go by without building up the skills you were made to develop.
Hey, I get it.
There's so much information out there, it's hard to cut through the noise and find resources that actually provide all the information you need to move forward.
I'm here to provide the guidance, clarity and encouragement you need to finally see the progress you desire.

My name's Erika and I'm a teaching artist with 15+ years of experience working in creative fields, selling my art, and mentoring students from all over the world.
Before starting my own art business, I worked as a Graphic Designer at an advertising agency and as head Art Teacher in a school for many years. I combine the knowledge and experience gained through my Bachelor's in Fine Arts, my Master's in International Education, and my full-time creative positions to provide my students with a thorough, well-rounded arts education. Now-a-days I spend my days creating art using a variety of traditional mediums, producing helpful content that I share via this website and my YouTube channel, as well as teaching via my membership and one-on-one sessions. |

Thoughts from some of my lovely online students:
Erika is a patient, kind, encouraging and amazing teacher! I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to move forward in their art journey. My favorite part about being a Patreon member is that I have all my art resources in one place rather than having to search everywhere. Whether it's art techniques, fundamentals, artist tips, tutorials or more, it's all right there. They are very in-depth and she describes everything in a way that's easy to understand. My favorite part of working one-on-one with Erika is that I feel like I'm in art school and getting individual attention from the best-ever instructor. Thank you, Erika, for caring about us, and helping me reach my art dreams!
-Susan DiCocco (Ohio, United States)
As a self-taught artist, I had made some progress but hit a wall repeatedly making pieces that looked "wrong" for reasons I couldn't identify. When I started learning with Erika, she identified weaknesses in my grasp of fundamentals and put together a lesson plan to address those weaknesses while helping me progress toward my dream of learning figure drawing and illustration. I've been taking one-on-one lessons with her since September and I can honestly say that I've made more progress in the past several months than I did in years of struggling on my own. She's enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and gives extremely helpful feedback--I highly recommend her as a teacher.
-Yoon Ha Lee (Louisiana, United States)
I have followed Erika for a while on her blog, Pinterest, watched her videos, and receive her newsletter, enjoying her clear description of art concepts. Now I’ve been lucky enough to join her Facebook art group, watch her weekly live streams and had a personal Skype class. She is approachable, fun, and KIND! She quickly figured out where I was in my creative journey, encouraged me, and gave great feedback and tips to help me move forward.

A year from now, where will you be?
Will you still be frustrated, trying to learn the skills you need from YouTube videos or random blog posts that leave out key steps and must-know information?
Will you still be struggling to create art that matches your visions, tired of wasting time and money on supplies that you never use?
Will you be regretting that you didn't start working toward making your artistic dreams happen sooner?
Or will you be enjoying the amazing feeling of finding yourself through your art, confidently and consistently creating original work, actually enjoying the process, and proudly sharing your drawings and/or paintings with the world?
You have it in you to succeed and all you need to do, is start taking action today!

I highly recommend Erika's 1-on-1 sessions, especially if you're just getting started on your art journey and want to learn the fundamentals! Before I was struggling to improve because I had no direction, but just three months with Erika and my art skills improved so much. My proportions and portraits looked leagues better because she broke down topics in a way that they were easy for me to understand and practice. I've been taking classes with her on and off for the past two years now, and I only keep improving. With all the invaluable lessons, feedback, and guidance I receive from Erika, I really feel like my art goals are within reach!
-Mimi Thomas (Ohio, United States)
Erika is energetic, talented, and the love she has towards the art, as well as for art enthusiasts shows in all she does. I truly admire and respect her work, as well as her work ethic. I appreciate the time she has dedicated to inform and teach me different artistic skills. I would love to be able to take more classes with her and be able to work with her in the future.
-Jesus Cruz (Florida, USA)
I have been taking online classes with Erika for several months and I love the way she makes everything so easy to understand. With her direct guidance and feedback, I've been able to progress my skills and am now able to do things I didn't know I could do.
Erika's one-on-one drawing and watercolor tutoring programs are very complete and nothing is left out. The exercises and assignments progress incrementally. She's takes you step-by-step, covering necessary Art Fundamentals, and really takes into account your current level and goals to individualize her classes. Thank you for being so inspiring and bringing art back into my life!
