Where Teaching Experience Meets Artistic Passion
After years of teaching in schools, I discovered that the most meaningful learning happens in intimate, nurturing environments. That's why I created Open Studio DSM�a cozy basement studio where creativity flourishes without pressure.
My background in education means I understand how to meet each student where they are. Whether you're a child discovering art for the first time or an adult returning to creativity after years away, you'll find patient, personalized instruction designed to build confidence and unlock your artistic potential.
"The greatest art happens not in galleries, but in the personal triumphs of daily practice."
