Experienced tutor in Drawing in Guilford, Laurie offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Laurie is a great teacher! I was having trouble with a commission that had a tight deadline. I called her and she came to my house that same afternoon. She taught me technique and which brushes to use. She is both encouraging and kind. And a great artist!

I have deep respect for Laurie as an artist and so take her advice and direction fully confident in her competence. She teaches to my skill level and beyond.

She is an amazing artist and also has a special teaching ability with expertise, patience and kindness that lead to enjoyable lessons for my children. They learned a great amount and always looked forward to lessons.

Laurie is an exceptional artist. That can be intimidating as a student but Laurie comes to her teaching from a place of curiosity. Her focus is to develop the point of view of her students by asking questions and listening deeply. She encourages discovery and playfulness through loads of different exercises and possibilities to explore. This ability to cultivate a personal visual language with someone is rare. Laurie has it.
