Our Mission:
Igniting inner emotion and outward excitement for the arts. Promoting cultural development and sharing the healing power of self-expression through art exhibitions and education.
As an art teacher with over 40 years experience, I always suggest that my students take up plein air painting (painting outside, what you see) because it is an effective way to improve your painting skills and for the beginners, it will help you to paint what you see. And I often call plein air painting extreme art because it can be very challenging. That is why I am offering “Essential Plein Air” where you will develop what I believe to be the most essential concepts in creating artwork that not only looks real but more importantly FEELS REAL. I look forward to showing you this game-changing way to paint.
