Welcome, Artists!

I’m Chris, and I teach painting & drawing with mindfulness.

I find mindfulness to be the most powerful tool in creating art.

And I want you, my student, to share this affirming and creative experience in a safe and freeing environment.

With patience and persistence, beautiful work can emerge.

Student work by Jean-Marie C.

“Chris is a wonderful teacher—patient and kind, but always pushing me to do my best.

Thanks to his encouragement and coaching, I am now selling my work at various venues around the state.

I could not be more pleased with his help and tutelage!”

—Jean-Marie C.
