Art for Anyone; Any Age

Background

Background

Background

My career in art has taught me that practice, collaboration, and experimentation are key to developing artistic skills.


With extensive experience in Fine Art, Illustration, Marketing, Graphic Design, Photography, Creative Direction, and Crafts, I enjoy helping people explore their creativity, develop new skills, and experiment with different artistic mediums.


Whether you're looking to learn something new, improve your existing skills, or simply explore your creativity, I can tailor lessons to your interests, experience level, and goals. We can work with the mediums and subjects that you are most interested in pursuing.


Throughout my own artistic journey, I have been fortunate to learn from teachers, professors, colleagues, and fellow artists who encouraged me, challenged me, and helped me grow. 

I'd love to provide that same kind of guidance and encouragement as you develop your own artistic journey.

Experiment 

I tutor students of any age and skill level, offering  introductory to advanced level lessons in drawing, sculpture, digital art, photography, acrylic, watercolor and oil painting.


Practice 

Want more? Dive deeper with me into figure drawing, light/value studies, art history, color theory, layout composition, design basics, typography and Adobe software. 


Post secondary art or design portfolio preparation:

I offer my own Alberta University of the Arts and Visual Communication entrance portfolios as examples, and I am able to mentor students with a college/career level goal in mind. 

I will recommend projects, do critiques and assist via e-mail outside of regular lesson time.

"Michael teaches to the level that my daughter is at and she looks forward to talking with him. She rarely connects with tutors, but Michael has connected really well and is extremely engaging, understanding, and knowledgeable." -Wayne


"Very positive and can adapt to different types of learning such amazing person." -Jacob


"Michael is not only incredibly talented but also exceptionally patient and warm. My daughter, who has a speech impairment, is usually quiet and hesitant to express herself. With Michael's gentle guidance and encouragement, my daughter became highly engaged and learned a multitude of techniques during their sessions. We couldn't be more grateful for having Michael with us."
