About Rita
My own art practice is centered on joy, and my approach to critique is to focus on the positive. As a teacher, my goal is not to teach you how to make art like I do, but to discover your own way of making art.
I love it all -- getting to know my clients and students, getting into the groove of my own work, and watching my students progress.
In art school, I loved being able to help my fellow students identify and use their strenghts in drawing or painting. Whenever we have family visiting, the kids always want to come hang out in my studio and make art with me. And my own pratice of art is centered around bringing joy to my clients. So teaching art is a natural addition to what I alredy do professionaly as an artist.
I have a Bachelors in Fine Arts from California State College Sacramento.

I like to get to know the student, learn what artists inspire them, and what they like to draw or paint on their own. If a young child enjoys drawing characters from a particular cartoon, we can start there. If an older student is a fan of Van Gogh, or Frieda Kahlo, or Mike Mignola (a comic book artist), we can talk about the strenghts of that artist's work and find ways to incorporate those elements into the student's work.
I also like to have my students draw themselves using a mirror, or set up still lifes to draw or paint using items my student is fond of (toys for kids; art objects, clothing, or wine bottles for adults). Learning to draw what you see is a key skill.
I have experience teaching art to young children, as well as adult students of all ages who are interesting in taking their drawing or painting skills to the next level.
Find an art teacher who helps you see the strengths in your own art.
I am very excited about seeing the Obama presidential portraits when they come to LACMA in November.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What kind of art do you like to make? What kind of things do you doodle when you are idle? Which artists -- historical or modern, fine art or popular art -- really resonate with you?
