I offer many different options for learning.

A woman wearing a colorful apron stands in front of an artwork-filled background. The quote beside her reads, 'My special skill is not teaching people how to make art that looks like mine, but rather teaching people how to make art that is a true expression of themselves.' The text includes the name Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, identified as CEO/Founder, and the logo MAP (My Art Practice) with a hand holding a brush.

Private coaching sessions are conducted over Zoom and may be recorded if you wish.  You can sign up for one session to help with a specific problem or set up a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly appointment for ongoing coaching.  It's your choice.

I coach clients on both art and "business of art" matters.

IN PERSON LEARNING

My art classes are fun, fast-paced, intensive learning experiences. I encourage you to ask questions and I love to geek out about art supplies and exactly what they can do.  I share a ton of techniques and ideas during each and every class and teach until the very last possible minute.  At the end of the day, you'll be tired and full of art ideas!

I hope you'll join me.
