Learn to Draw
Like You Ride a Bike
Once you’ve got the skills, it stays with you. I’m here to get you rolling—with clarity, confidence, and a little creative magic.
Drawing is a skill—like riding a bike. Once you learn how, it stays with you.
Sure, you might get a little rusty, but the muscle memory is always there.
My teaching approach is built around that idea: to give you a strong foundation, so you can take your creativity wherever you want it to go.
Whether you're sketching just for joy or dreaming of gallery-level work, I’ll help you build the skills, confidence, and understanding to make it happen.
Through in-person classes, virtual coaching, and downloadable resources, I meet you where you are and guide you to where you never thought you could go.
Being in Noriko’s class is one of the best experiences I’ve had as a young artist. She helps me see colors and my work in a whole new way—and I always leave class excited to keep learning!
