Coming up in 2023-2024

2023 Has been a great year so far .. I just returned back to Santa Fe from a wonderful 9 weeks of Figure Drawing & Painting with Studio Escalier in Paris and Argenton Chateau. Four years have gone by since I was last there to teach - it was such a gift to finally pick up where I left off at the studio along with Jillian and our little Sylvie (who turned one while we were there!). I couldn’t have asked for a better time there… and I can’t wait to get back next Autumn, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, I’m excited about some upcoming workshops and courses in 2024.

Transitions

My congratulations to the NYAA graduating class of 2016!  It has been inspiring to meet you and to watch your work develop over the past year.  I look forward to seeing where you all go next.

Likewise, I consider myself fortunate to be part of such an incredible class of 2017.  We have our work cut out for us, but I have no doubt that we will put on a good show next year.

In addition to the celebration, I am thrilled to have been awarded the Michele and Timothy Barakett Foundation Scholarship for 2017.  It is an absolute honor - Thank you!

MFA Open House

Details here, For anyone interested in stopping by the Open Studios event on April 15th, 2016.  I hope to see you there!

Drawing in Paris

It's almost that time - I'll be spending my summer in France with Studio Escalier - I'm thrilled to be teaching in Montmartre again!  Details here.

Having a Ball

Somehow, I'm a month shy of finishing my first year at the New York Academy of Art.  I'm not sure where the time has gone, but it has been a great experience so far - I'm being stretched in ways that I wasn't anticipating.  There is still plenty of room to grow, and I am certainly looking forward to next year.

Many thanks to everyone who stopped by Anna's and my Studio at the Tribeca Ball.  It was a pleasure to meet you!

Un Été

In transition from another wonderful summer spent in France with Studio Escalier to new challenges in NYC as I pursue an MFA at the New York Academy of Art.  I'm truly excited to get caught up in the artistic whirlwind and to explore new ideas - I am hopeful that something truly positive will come from it.

That being said, "The goal is absolutely secondary:  It is the functioning toward the goal which is important." - Hunter S. Thompson
