About Aric

Empowering students to find joy in the creative process is at the heart of my teaching practice. With 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping middle school, high school, and adult learners master Art by building confidence rather than relying on rote memorization. I create a supportive, patient environment where we break complex techniques into manageable steps. By observing how you interact with new materials, I adapt my approach--whether through visual aids, hands-on practice, or open discussion--to suit your unique style. I prioritize clear communication with you and your family to ensure we meet your goals together. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a concept finally clicks for a student. I am happy to meet at your home, the library, a community center, or online to help you grow your artistic skills. I look forward to helping you discover your creative potential.
