In her work as a cartoon illustrator Tina received an Associate of Applied Science Degree from the Colorado Art Institute in 1994.

In 2020 Tina will host and attend Costa Dvoresky at her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. Tina’s continued education includes attending the Portrait Society Annual Conference each year.
Tina feels strongly the responsibility to impart the knowledge she has learned onto the next generation of artists and is therefor a prolific teacher. For the last three years Tina has taught over a dozen workshops annually across the country and abroad at both private studios and art centers including the Scottsdale Artists' School, Village Arts of Putney, The Art Students League of Denver, Bountiful Davis Art Center, San Clemente California Art Supply, Oklahoma Academy of Classical Art, The Hull Art Academy, The Compass Atelier, and internationally in Tuscany and Florence, Italy, at The Florence Studio in 2017, ’18 and ’19. In 2020 Tina has been invited to teach at the The Dutch Atelier of Realism in the Netherlands and Vicki Sullivan’s Studio in Australia. Tina is scheduled to teach a workshop in the U.K. at Rosemary & Co. in 2021.
Tina teaches four starting methods including Selective Start, Line and Value Block-In, Open Grisaille and Accurate Color Wash. Tina teaches artists how to paint from both life and photos in several workshop formats including The Starting Methods Workshop, The Flesh Tones Workshop, Secrets to Painting Children, Painting From Photos…How To It Right!, and The Figure Outdoors.
