Frequestly Asked Questions

  • My home studio is in McKinney, TX:
    📍 10145 Coolidge Dr, McKinney, TX 75072
    Please note: This is a private residence. Studio visits are by appointment only.

  • That depends on the type of session—here’s a quick checklist!

    ​

    🖌️ For project-specific guidance:

    • Your current work-in-progress

    • Your original reference photo (ideally printed in color on letter-sized paper, but digital on your phone/tablet works too)

    • Your art supplies: colored pencils or graphite pencils, eraser, ruler, drafting brush

    • Your specific questions — What are you stuck on? Where do you need help?

    ​

    🗂️ For portfolio reviews:

    • Your body of work (bring prints, originals, or digital images)

    • Any submission guidelines if you're applying to a school or program

    • Your questions and goals!

    ​

    🧭 For general art guidance:

    • Samples of your recent work, or even just inspiration (show me what moves you—photos, books, Pinterest boards, etc.)

    • Your questions — Where do you want to grow? What skills are you craving to build?

    ​

    If you are not sure, please contact me!

  • It’s like a one-on-one private lesson tailored just for you! You’ll get hands-on guidance, demonstrations, feedback, and encouragement to deepen your technique and confidence—whether you’re here for support, growth, or just some creative TLC.

  • My studio is upstairs, but I can absolutely arrange to meet downstairs to accommodate your needs. Just let me know ahead of time and I’ll have everything ready for you!

  • Yes! Street parking is available right outside the house.

  • Yes, please! This session is all about you. Want help with blending, layering, color matching, or a tricky piece you’re working on? Let’s dive in.

  • I’m currently working on a multi-session package (coming soon!), but in the meantime, you can book individual sessions—and there’s a 30-minute follow-up option available for returning clients.

  • They’re all tailored—just choose how deep you want to go:

    • 45 min – Perfect for younger students or those needing quick feedback

    • 60 min – A full private lesson with enough time for hands-on help and at-home guidance

    • 90 min – Great if you don’t have a solid art setup at home, or if you're short on time during the week. Think of it as your creative recharge session—with coaching baked in!
