Cost of classes is determined by the number of participants.  Contact me for a specific quote.

Individual Sessions

I provide in home individual art sessions for older adults who are independent or who have cognitive or personal challenges.  Whether someone has had limited experience creating art or has a strong interest, art sessions are adapted to respond to the needs and interests of each person.  Art sessions provide an opportunity for a fun, engaging activity. I begin by working with the person to detemine their previous art making experience.  I then provide the support needed to successfully participate in the process of creating visual art.  Art sessions typically last an hour. (Session time can be shortened if an individual needs it to be). Session cost is determined by mileage and travel time to an individual’s location. Basic art materials are provided. Art projects focus on exploring each participant’s interests.

Testimonials:

“My 70 year old client, who lives in a Memory Care Community, has had the opportunity to do art with Danelle for about a year now.  My client has always loved art and this one on one time to create art has brought my client so much joy, calm, confidence and quality of life.  Danelle, a gifted artist in many genres, has the understanding and patience for people with special needs.  Finding Danelle to work with my client to bring her art to life has been an unexpected gift.”

“ I really enjoy taking art lessons from Danelle. Her patient and positive encouragement is helping me.  At age 81 I know the importance of keeping my mind active. With Danelle’s gentle coaching I’m experiencing surprising joy and having much more fun than doing yet another crossword.”
