Leigh

Certified Tutor

I had my first art exhibition in kindergarten where I promptly represented each member of my family out of Lincoln logs and google eyes. Ever since then I have been creating art. I have worked as a art teacher of all mediums and ages. I love passing along my skills and knowledge to others. I teach using references, from life and from the student's imagination. I possess two art degrees. One in fine art from the first art school in America, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and one in graphic design from The Art Institute in Colorado. While at The Pennsylvania Academy I was awarded the Toppan drawing award and Philadelphia printmaking club membership prize. I have exhibited all over America, including in New York, Philadelphia, Colorado, Boston and New Mexico to name a few. I am versatile in every medium and I believe with enough practice and persistence anything in life and especially in art is possible. I am a proud mom of two children and currently reside in Pennsylvania.
