Creativity is not always proactive. It can be receptive too...

Is It Ugly or Honest?

I saw this painting in person for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago over 16 years ago. I was wandering through the vast rooms, enjoying the impressionists, when it reached out and slapped me across the face. This isn’t a pretty painting. It’s powerful and sarcastic, rich, and direct. It’s beautiful, but it’s not easy...read more.

What Does Your Art Say About You?

Last week, I was asked if I ever painted paintings just because I thought they would sell. And I have to admit, that, especially when I was broke, I did everything I could to anticipate what the market might want. I wanted to survive as an artist and that wasn’t easy. I hadn’t even begun to grasp the vastness of that divide that lives between being a painter, and the marketing of a painting...read more.

Are You Stopping Before You Start?

Have you been too scared to move? As I looked down at the glassy flatness of the lake and the sheer cliffs of the cove, the little circling motor boat and chanting people below looked like toys.

"I came looking to change up and be more confident in my personal expression, and I feel that I truly achieve this. As confirmation, and just to brag a bit, my pink saxophone player won an award in a local art show and actually sold!"

LINDA MORTON (LTS Alumni)

"This lesson blew my mind and broke open my whole world of art-making. I found a new scale to my art voice, gained so much joy and confidence that I began making bold forays into disrupted realism. In the middle of the course, I began to be juried into regional shows and winning awards, not to mention selling more work. One of my works in this new genre has been juried into the Disrupted Realism show in the Buckham Gallery, juried by author John Seed."

MAY KLISH (LTS Alumni)

"This was one of the best investments I ever made. The Learning to See class gave me so many tools to create and to see things differently and still more precisely at the same time. It helped me shed some preconceived notions of what creating art can or “should” involve. It opened a world of possibilities for imagining compositions, creating and evaluating design, using color, value and hierarchy in the service of what I want to express."

REBECCA ARNDT (LTS Alumni)

"I think abstract painters, as well as more realistic painters ,would profit greatly from Learning to See.
It opened up a variety of possibilities for growth in my skills and thinking."

LOU BELCHER (LTS Alumni)

"I thought it was a good length of time and there was plenty of well planned content. To be offered the extra two weeks (months) of discussion about our work at the end was really generous."
