“David set me free!”
In my studio, I easily become stuck and often do not know what to do next on any given piece. After in-depth discussion about my paintings..., I felt as if I could finally move forward with my work. I am thrilled that I was able to conquer my fears and begin to make some progress with my paintings. I am continuing with weekly, private critiques with David to keep my head and hand in the right place.

“I know what it’s like to battle self doubts and second-guessing.”
I know what it’s like to be in the studio for long periods of time, alone with your thoughts and your work, creating, making decisions, taking risks, trying stuff, correcting, re-working, liking what you are doing, not liking what you are doing, questioning, battling self doubts, second-guessing and sometimes not knowing if what you are doing is close to working or not working at all.
Receive thoughtful insights and laser-focused guidance in order to help you be a better, more productive and creative artist.

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciated all the things he told me and how deeply they resonated.”
After twenty years of painting and many, many classes, workshops and teachers, I hit yet another wall alone in my studio. David’s visit to my studio was a mental housecleaning for me. I am so grateful to have shared my concerns and be instantly understood. Without judgement, David guided me to find myself in all the clutter of conflicting voices in my head. One cannot make this journey in complete solitude, and David’s visit was exactly what the doctor ordered.

“This was the impetus I needed to move forward with enthusiasm and confidence.”
Our session together was extremely useful to me. David...understood my desire to break free of the self-imposed constraints I habitually encountered when creating a new painting. He encouraged me to open up, to play and to try new methods with new materials, as a way to find my own voice through exploration. His ability to see and understand my problems and communicate an organized and effective solution was priceless. I credit David for encouraging me to go beyond what I already know and discover what could be. I am grateful to him for his honesty, his friendship and his gift of perception.
