"Hi, Everyone! I am very passionate about discovering peoples' hidden creativity through art teaching. Many of my new first time students were afraid that they could not paint. However, after short time like 6 - 10 classes (in 1-2 months) they will be able to create their own art! Through art we find our lost happiness and creativity, passion in life. I always tell my students you are learning another happiness tool!"
