Art lovers! Welcome to Art Talks! Most of my talks are free, but the ones I do for Adult Schools charge a nominal fee. I hope you are able to support these vital community resources that have been so hard hit by the pandemic.

If you are on Facebook, you can join my Art Talks page at

I also have a YouTube channel where I have uploaded mini-art talks that you may find interesting and fun. Please subscribe!

I have 80+ topics you can choose from.
