student paintings
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
One extra session later, these cheerful and hard-working girls completed their paintings. I am very happy with their ability to develop an idea and see it through to the finished work. Both Sam and Sabrina tried new techniques and found great success in carrying off what they sought to acheive. I like watching them make [...]
Happy Mothers’ Day
Sunday, May 10, 2009
I have some of the neatest kids come to the studio for painting workshops. Without exception, these students are fortunate to have very involved and caring moms. I am grateful to know them all and to have their children as students and today I am hoping they all feel very appreciated for all they do [...]
new painting by Jerri Stevens
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I had a great day walking around town in the sunshine today. I ran into lots of people and did a lot of visiting, saw tons of art, walked down the street carrying this panel with Jerri, laughed, had some yummy coffee, and gathered together a few friends for a fire. Well, I couldn’t start [...]
Early Bird Discounts at Eureka Springs School of the Arts
Wednesday, March 4, 2009
I am excited to be teaching in two sessions at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts this summer. My first class is a week-long Introduction to Polymer Clay. It is scheduled June 15th -19th, during the adult session but since I prefer working with mixed age groups, mature youth are invited to apply and [...]
students complete paintings
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
What a fun and diverse group of painters! I have loved every minute of working with this group. Everyone adapted their ideas around the assignment and worked to include a relistic depiction of an object in their painting. It was a great exercise in painting what you see, something that is much easier than it [...]
students nearing completion
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Monday’s art class was really cool. Everyone worked on their paintings and I moved from student to student asking questions and answering them. Everyone worked on bringing their forms to life with shading and highlighting and made decisions about the dominant colors and overall feel of the piece. Next week they will complete their paintings.
work and play, work and play

I am getting ready for the students return to the studio this afternoon. Last week they worked on sketching their compositions and doing an under-painting. The students from the last year’s class had some preparatory work for this and drew on what they learned from their lesson on value studies. The new students are, well, [...]
art classes resume tomorrow
Sunday, February 8, 2009
This music video of Tanya Davis‘ song, Art, was created by Andrea Dorfman. I think they are both wonderful.
Okay, art students, the power is on and the studio is ready for your return tomorrow. I can hardly wait to be surrounded by your creativity and humor again. Let’s paint!
reception was fun
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
The student art reception was great. The kids were really glad to have their friends and family come see all they have been working on. I was proud to hear them explaining some of the exercises we had done early on in the class. They are an amazing group of curious and open people and [...]

The first art class comes to a close this afternoon as the students set up the studio for their art reception. Their friends and families are invited to come see all the things they have created during our classes. Aside from making wonderful art, this group of students does a fantastic job of making connections. [...]
science of color
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Last week at the Clear Spring School, I had the pleasure of working with all these student eyes! We discussed the difference between additive and subtractive color systems, learned about prisms and the color spectrum, and had a long discussion about optic technology, thanks to a talkative technology buff in the class. Fortunately, that led [...]
