About Alison

Experience: 3 yrs

I have been working with kids, helping them develop artistic skills for several years. I studied art at Mass College of Art and graphic design at Salem State. I believe in not only teaching children the basics of drawing, painting, sculpture and collage, but also in helping them discover and explore their creative process. I believe that all children (and adults for that matter) have great potential for creativity and innovation, and that learning to access one's inner artist can help with problem-solving, coping skills, self-confidence, and in many other areas of life. I have worked as an art instructor for children ages 4 to teenage + both in private studio classes and at an after school program. I also specialize in helping high school students prepare their portfolio for college admission. Here's a recommendation from one of my former students: "As a kid, I had always been involved in making art, but when it came time for me to apply to art college it became clear that my skills needed some brushing up before I would be able to create an acceptance-worthy art portfolio. Thankfully, Alison came to my aid, offering me her valuable knowledge regarding different art-making methods. Alison worked with me on my portfolio steadily for several months, helping me to refine my techniques in various areas including watercolor, still life, charcoal, and oil painting. Her instructions were well-explained, and she always offered me constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement. Overall Alison was a kind and patient tutor and very pleasant to work with. By the end of our weekly sessions, I left with a strong, well-rounded portfolio that earned me acceptance into every art program I applied to. I couldn't be more satisfied with the instruction I received. I highly recommend Alison to anyone looking to receive high quality art tutoring." - Madison, Amesbury, Massachusetts Please contact me to see my portfolio including art/craft projects done with kids.
