I am an artist, teacher, and photographer living and working in Palos Park, Illinois, my artistic journey has culminated into Flash Bugs Studio, an inspirational art space for children designed foster a true love of art and expression.  In an inspired space filled with music and happy buzzing children, I love to encourage children to use their hands and hearts to create art sourced from their own creativity.  As they explore and manipulate materials, build skills, find their own errors and envision their own solutions, the child’s inner artist emerges.  Whether painting, cutting, building or drawing, kids use their own genuine creativity to make art that is genuine to them.

Mega Masters is an art class for older elementary school children who love creativity, but need guidance to take their artwork to the next level.  In this class we will explore various drawing and painting techniques such as shading, gesture drawing, and mixing paint tints and shades.  All of these techniques will be applied into a daily sketchbook and to their masterpieces where they will gain a deeper understanding of the principles and elements of art.  Your child will walk away with a renewed sense of confidence about their creativity. At the end of this session, your child will walk away with a framed piece of artwork and a beautifully packaged bag filled with their masterpieces. All art materials are provided in class. Parents should expect to drop off their child for this class.
