Hi! I'm Rebecca!

I’m a watercolor artist and teacher in Pennsylvania, USA.

My goal is to empower, encourage, and equip – to help you learn to paint detailed, realistic animals in watercolor so you can use these techniques to develop your own unique style.

Before becoming a full-time artist, I enjoyed a fulfilling career as a public school Music Educator. I retired from teaching to focus on painting, and founded this watercolor school in 2017. I love to teach, and hope you enjoy and learn from these courses. Always feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions.
