Doctor of Education with over twenty years of experience as an Art Professor, active fine artist, and author. Offers a personalized, learner-centered approach tailored to your individual needs.

Tak is one of the most creative professors I’ve learned from. He brings fresh ideas to the creative process and encourages students to think in new ways. As an artist, he shares real-world experience that makes lessons practical and inspiring. His feedback is clear and helpful, and any student would benefit greatly from his mentorship and classes.

I've known Tak for 20 years at least! We have worked for the same institution on more than one occasion, and when we didn't, we have always stayed in touch.
Tak is a very knowledgeable and creative craftsman! He is confident but never arrogant. He is quite grounded while also being very personable! Tak has a nice sense of humor and a wonderful and even temperament. He develops course content that is engaging while also being technically on point (and virtually without error).
This is only possible when an educator has spent many countless hours on personal and professional development as well as many hours of painstaking research and diligent practice.
I am ‘less than informed’ concerning the ‘super prof’ styles of professors. I do know what the benchmark is for the instructors I have known and worked with over a thirty-year period. That is the standard by which we should all as (instructors/professors) hold ourselves to. That standard is the progress and (rate of) success of the learners we are all privileged to work with.
It is a standard that is easily said, yet never easily met! Tak has met and exceeded that standard for a solid quarter of a century.
It has been a pleasure to have borne witness to his efforts and successes as much as it has been inspiring.
Thank you, Tak!

I had the pleasure of being a student of his years ago. Tak is inspiring, knowledgeable, and thought-provoking, everything you want when seeking guidance in breaking down complex theories and translating them into eye-catching imagery for a canvas.

Tak is a great teacher, educator and thinker, with a lot of passion for art and his students. Students and instructors admire and respect Tak. He constantly performs beyond expectations. He makes his students work hard and they are rewarded greatly for it with skill and experience.

Tak is responsible, artistic, smart and a great team player and leader. He has done great things for the Foundations Department in his 10 plus years with Ai-Hollywood. I recommend Tak, his skills and experience as a great teacher and educator and published artist highly.

Tak is an amazing artist and teacher. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and understands how to communicate with people of varying skill.
