Instructor Bio
I am Karin. I am a portrait artist, and have about 30 years of teaching and mentoring experience. I have a love relationship with oil paints. However, in the beginning, I had no clue where to start. I did not know what I needed, and if I could even do this. At the same time, I was always putting myself and my dreams on the back burner. After I hit rock bottom, I found my Why and stepped away from the second or less place in my life. That was the moment I decided to start my art business. I cannot express how much this decision to think about myself first has helped me. I really reconnected with myself in a way I never understood before. Painting with oil is my number one, and mentoring/ teaching is a natural habit. Learning the ABC of drawing taught me how to see, and that is more important than anything I experienced in my life.
