LEARNING LIBRARY

This is a growing collection of art lessons, tutorials, guides, and resources drawn from my years as a working painter, writer, and educator.

The materials here are practical, thoughtful, and adaptable. They’re designed to support a wide range of learners—whether you’re teaching children, working with diverse or disabled students, homeschooling, or returning to art yourself.

You’ll find resources focused on foundational art skills, materials and process, art history, and ways to bring art into daily life and learning. Everything here reflects my belief that art is not just something we make, but something we live with.

All Learning Library resources are offered free in exchange for joining Studio Letters. When you sign up, you’ll receive access to the full library and stay connected as new resources are added.

No pressure. No insider language. Just tools, ideas, and guidance to support creative practice and art education.

Art is for everyone.

Inside the Learning Library, you’ll find:

  • Art lessons and studio tutorials

  • Downloadable guides and reference materials

  • Process notes and teaching tools

  • Resources for artists, parents, educators, and the art-curious

 

New materials are added as my teaching and studio practice evolve.
