Una is an American expat originally from Salt Lake City, Utah who just celebrated her 3-year anniversary in Toulouse. 

She earned her MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art’s Graduate School of Figurative Art. She has over 15 years’ teaching experience in higher education and art institutions in Utah, North Carolina, and New York. She earned her BA in Studio Art from Smith College.

She is a lifelong student of the human figure specializing in portraiture, with frequent forays into landscape painting and drawing.

Like many of us, Una wears several hats: teacher of art history to American college students; assistant to aspiring artists discovering Toulouse by sketchbook; painter and drawer of portraits; blogger about life as a voluntary expat; player of Irish music; teacher of English; artist developing her own work in her snug home studio. She can frequently be found sketching among the picturesque streets of Toulouse or in its cafés.

Una is especially passionate about drawing from life. In her teaching, she aims to create a relaxing, nonjudgmental atmosphere where students of all levels can discover their ability to observe and analyze the visual world and create compelling compositions. She loves to make drawing accessible, and demystify the process into fundamental elements.
