"I help people find their creative spark through my engaging art classes."

I'm a teaching artist based in New Jersey, specializing in lettering & watercolor art. Being a self-taught artist and now a teacher, I have realized that everyone is creative - even if they don't know it yet! I founded The Paisley Corner to spread the joy of creating through my art workshops. 

I teach multiple lettering techniques, including hand lettering, brush lettering, and watercolor lettering. In my highly-rated, beginner-friendly watercolor workshops, I lead guided projects where participants create their own unique floral and galaxy pieces.

Over the last five years, I have taught 2500+ students (adults and kids) at 200+ workshops. My past clients include Adobe, Shapeways, Rituals, Confetti, MixLife, Distill Creative & the New York tri-state area public libraries.

Teaching has been a fulfilling experience, and it drives me to teach more and better! I advise my students not to obsess over their final artwork but to immerse themselves in the process of making art. When you let go of expectations and instead focus on the repetitive strokes of lettering or painting - you can experience creative flow.

I am available to teach in person (in the Greater New York area) and virtual art workshops. My classes are great for companies that are looking for creative team-building activities. My lettering and watercolor classes are ideal for remote teams in different parts of the globe. Artistic activities are relaxing and provide opportunities for teams to bond. Studies show that creative employees are happier, more productive, and strong problem-solvers. So, book me for your next team-building event!

Connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn. I would love to stay in touch!

Thanks for stopping by!
