The workshop experience is like no other. It's about people. A group experience stimulates natural creative thinking and ignites inspiration and adventure to your life. Taking time out to join others in a friendly, immersive and supportive atmosphere stimulates thinking, encourages experimentation, and greatly improves YOUR absorption of technical processes. I've worked hard to make my workshops enjoyable, understandable, challenging, and best of all-- successful in achieving the goals of each student. I believe you will learn more about your creative potential with me than in any other digital workshop. But don't take my word for it-- Read what past workshop participants have written below.
Many participants have kept in touch; some have had their new works exhibited and sold in galleries and to collectors. Several have acknowledged our work together in their own books. I am very proud of them and honored to have played a positive role in their lives during and after our workshops.
If you're looking for a way to re-discover your natural talents, develop a personal style and perfect your skills, join us for a workshop of creative growth, fun and camaraderie.Thanks again David. You filled in allot of gaps for me.

"Your wonderful class ("Creativity and Invention in Photoshop") was just exactly what I needed because it builds a bridge between the digital and the personal, which can be daunting for the right-brain creative person. Your emphasis on opening up creatively, on being in touch with our personal response to visual (and other sensory) things set the perfect tone for the workshop. I am especially impressed with how accessible you are in general and how willing you are to share what other artists might consider trade secrets." – Allegra B., WA

"I liked the variety... David did informative, useful critiques yet was always supportive"
"...forcing us to dig deeper, to work outside of our existing preconceptions was a challenge and a motivator. It was truly a self-discovery."
"I have taken a number of workshops over the past seven years. David's class stands out as one the best. David is not only technically skilled and makes the "how to" a major part of his program, but he also delves into the challenges of being creative and how to stay fresh with new ideas."

"He had a very patient and personal way of teaching and helped me produce work I am proud of despite my lack of Photoshock skills." – Frances, O, IR
My past instructors were very commercially-oriented and taught commonly-seen techniques that did not demonstrate much originality or seem artistically useful to me... David is easy-going and revealed his methods of personal and creative thinking and then demonstrated many techniques that made my art more... sophisticated in my opinion... He was very encouraging yet realistic and I hope to work with him again."
"I thought your workshop was fabulous! Absolutely one of my favorites. It was a pleasure meeting you, and getting to be a part of your influence and guidance as a teacher.." Leslie A, an instructor & lab assistant at Santa Fe Workshops.
"I learned more from you a day than I did from a two-day workshop in NYC." º Seth G, WA
