Certified Tutor

My specialties are in art, technology and academic skills.
Would you like feedback from a fellow artist knowledgeable in design and color? I can meet with you and listen to your ideas and view your work at various stages. I specialize in painting, photography and digital art.
Whether you are a budding or accomplished artist, another set of eyes with constructive feedback can make a big difference. I can offer visual artists critiques based on fundamentals of design and color theory using Photoshop. I have taught these courses to college level and young artists. My students find my video critiques most helpful in providing inspiration and suggestions.
I am a painter, photographer and digital artist. I have often found that using a foundation of design and color helps problem solve when I am questioning direction or need inspiration. Also just having someone view my work and make observations can offer insight that I may have missed. See my work at fioreart.com.
Sample video critiques can be viewed at:

I also have a background in working with exceptional learners. I have spent 20+ years working with learners having specific difficulties and those that are considered "gifted". Whether you need extra help in accomplishing your school goals or would like a challenge and inspiration that suits your interests, I may be able to help.
