Private Lessons

I offer private lessons in drawing, painting, and  mixed media arts for adults and children in my spacious artist's studio in downtown Lebanon, NH. With more than twenty years' experience in teaching people of all ages in many different settings - from university art courses to community arts projects with elders and at-risk youth - I am passionate about helping students to find their creative voice and develop their unique sensibilities. 
My training as an expressive arts therapist helps me to deepen the scope of my clients' inquiry, while creating a safe non-judgmental space for creativity. Standard rates are $50/hr for private instruction, or $30/hr/person for small groups.

Please contact me to discuss your interest in arts instruction, and to schedule an initial session.

Testimonial

Julie is a wise artist who is able to share her knowledge and experience in ways that encourage the novice forward. Notably, she is able to break down complex concepts into manageable chunks  One of the most important aspects of teaching beginners is helping them to build confidence as they are learning. Julie has an unusual ability to identify something positive in anyone’s work and to point new artists in directions that will improve their competence. She has a wonderful sense of humor, laughing easily which also benefits the learner who can benefit from not taking oneself too seriously.
