I started oil painting at age 9 and a little later also took up dry pastel. I was winning district competitions almost immediately and as I got better, placed state-wide. I began commissioned works before I started high school: mostly portraits. While in high school, I assisted the Art Teacher with guiding the class through difficult moments, mostly of breaking out of "traditional" methodologies of representation.

I appreciate how Xenia took a genuine interest in my work weeks before I hired her. She gave me unsolicited feedback on the work that I posted to your platform. Then she responded to my comments on her feedback. Then she responded to my comments to her subsequent feedback ...etc. She also checked in a few times when she had not heard from me for a while. Prior to our first meeting she planned out a method that she thought would be useful for me and Emailed that she had something she thought would he useful the day before. Her method did in fact help me better position and frame the subject of my painting. She even tried to undercharge me for the time we spent in the first session but I did not let her get a way with it. I suspect she does not always have the time to engage, at the level she engaged, with my project, but I'm grateful she was able and willing to do so leading up to our first session.
