Watercolor washes can be tricky to handle, but it is an essential part of mastering the medium. Talya Kellen, an adult beginner, applied a multicolor wash to create her first full color painting of a bridge silhouetted against a sunset sky!

I am very proud to acknowledge one of my Advanced Student's participation in Fair Lawn's Memorial Day Parade. Daniel Nakhimovich, who is an outstanding artist, also plays clarinet in Fair Lawn High School's award winning Marching Band.!  Great job, Daniel!

I am very excited about our new camp themes this year!
Children aged 7 - 12 will be transported through time and experience the music, games and artisan crafts of "Colonial America" or "Medieval Times". 
Both themed camps offer a fun, culturally immersive, learning experience, and kids love it!  Sign up now to reserve your child's place, seating is limited to a small group.

Spring is a wonderful time to get out and truly observe nature!  I like to take plenty of reference photos so that I can recreate in studio the beauty I have observed. 


This rose was "captured" in pastels!
