Teaching At Sea

Picture
Art has taken me to extraordinary places. Since 2024, I've had the privilege of teaching painting on luxury cruise ships, combining my love of travel with my passion for arts education.
From the turquoise waters of Southeast Asia to the historic shores of the English Channel, from Caribbean sunsets to Mediterranean coastlines, I create unique art lessons inspired by each port and destination. Whether we're painting the temples of Thailand, the beaches of St. Lucia, or commemorating the D-Day beaches of Normandy, each class connects students to the places we visit through creative expression.
My floating classroom welcomes artists of all levels, from complete beginners picking up a brush for the first time to experienced painters refining their technique. I believe the best learning happens when we're relaxed, inspired, and open to possibility. There's something magical about creating art while surrounded by the ocean, with new landscapes unfolding at every port.

What Makes Teaching at Sea Special
Each voyage brings new inspiration. I design lesson plans that reflect our destinations, helping students capture not just the visual beauty of each place, but the feeling of being there. Students learn fundamental techniques in composition, color mixing, and brushwork while creating paintings they're proud to take home as unique souvenirs of their journey.
Whether you've sailed with me or are curious about joining a future voyage, I'd love to share this adventure with you. Art and travel are two of life's greatest gifts. Combining them creates something truly unforgettable.
