Celebrate Sonoma County’s changing seasons through watercolor! Join me for full-day classes inspired by winter botanicals, flowering branches, spring wildflowers, and fresh new growth.

Explore watercolor techniques, experiment with color and texture, and discover the unexpected magic that happens when water and pigment interact on paper.

I’ll be teaching at two Sebastopol locations. Choose a full-day workshop at Sebastopol Center for the Arts or enjoy the intimate, small-group experience of a Watercolor Basics Salon at Sebastopol Gallery’s Main Street Studio.

All experience levels are welcome!
