this course will make you a master artist.

Instructor Biography:
As an experienced commercial artist, I created illustrations and marketing materials in both traditional and digital platforms. I’m also a gag cartoonist who sold cartoons to a variety of publications including the Wall Street Journal, Women’s World, and The Oldie, a British publication. 
I began teaching as an adjunct instructor for the College of DuPage in their graphic arts department. Later, I worked in the Continuing education department at Joliet Junior College where I taught art seminars and workshops. Additionally, I was a contract instructor for the College of Lake County, Truman College, Sterling Ledet Consulting, and Water Street Studios. Currently, I am privileged to teach drawing and other art classes for the LaGrange Art League. I love teaching and helping people find their way as artists. It’s a fun and rewarding journey.
