Hi, I’m Mary – artist and teacher with over 20 years of experience helping people explore their creativity.
In this 4-week pastel class, The Art of Sparkle, we’ll experiment with surfaces, textures, and light - glass, ceramics, metals, and more - capturing reflections, highlights, and the subtle magic of shine.
My goal is to create a supportive space where you can explore, experiment, and grow as an artist.
Colorful, luminous, and creative – this 4-week class is designed to explore surfaces, textures, and light, capturing reflections and the subtle magic of shine with pastels.
