PRIVATE LESSONS

As a professional artist, Wyatt is most proud of her ability to teach young artists, a skill she has developed over the past 5 decades. Private Art Lessons are designed to allow students to tune into themselves and their surroundings in a safe environment. Art lessons build focus, concentration, and hand-eye coordination while encouraging abstract thought.
