I've been a professional caricature artist for about 30 years and feel like I have valuable skills and knowledge to pass on. I think mentoring is a wonderful way to "play it forward." I have been helped by others and now it is my turn to give. I also enjoy outdoor painting, even though it is a skill that is requiring me learn new things which keeps me humble and increases my abilities as an artist. I don't mind conversing in this format for now. Early mornings and evenings are best.
