Steven Mincey - illustrator & instructor

Class Location: Zen Garden/Lotus Cafe

I am a drawing and painting instructor who has been practicing my craft for over 30 years. I work one-on-one with young artists through private lessons tailored to their individual needs and goals. Whether a student is still discovering their unique style or already has a clear artistic voice, I help them grow their technical skills, deepen their creative understanding, and gain confidence in their work.

Our lessons often revolve around meaningful, goal-oriented projects - like creating holiday-themed artwork or personalized gifts for loved ones. These projects give young artists a sense of purpose and accomplishment while also building foundational skills.

My ultimate goal is to guide each student towards independence. I aim to empower them with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to continue their creative journey long after our lessons together. Art is personal, powerful, and lifelong.
