Hello i am a 30 years old mother of 3 girls who are now old enough to allow me to start to rediscover myself. I made the grave mistake when i was young of listening to other people who i thought had my best interests at heart and did not pursue the the fine arts degree opportunity that was offered to me in highschool. And 12 years, marriage and 3 babies later; here i am with a hunger to return to my old love.

Art has been a guilty pleasure that i kept in a drawer by my bed and in boxes in storage which has just now reemerged. …

Artwork by Davia Deplanche

I am born in the South of France, in Provence which is bathed in such a unique and powerful light !
I am living presently in the US.

Art always has been part of my journey. I started as a ballerina , then wrote for the french TV and played on stage.
I had the chance to visit many Europeans museums which incited me to draw and paint.

To know when to stop to work on a painting because it is technically finished is one of my challenges and also mastering better different paint technique applications. …

Artwork by Diana Berrón

I have no memory, whatsoever, of my life before art. In my 35 years on this Earth, there has not been a day of boredom, my eyes have always been amazed by all images: features of faces, cast shadows, beams of light, the distinctive colors of human skin. More importantly, my curiosity has taken me to wonder about the matter and essence of all things, to try to decipher the story between every wrinkle, every freckle, every scar… what makes a person or thing so unique? …

I WANT TO MAKE GREAT ART

by Old Masters Academy
February 24, 2022March 8, 2022

Artwork by GEORGE H DALTON

I am 75 years old and have been interested in creating great art for most of my life. I was very interested in drawing and painting all the way thru high school and the first two years of college, but as with most people who have a passion – but not an overwhelming desire to follow that passion – life got in the way. I got married, had a daughter, had to make a living and provide for my family. I went to law school and after graduating and passing the bar I went to work as a Deputy District Attorney. As I got closer to retirement I started watching art shows on PBS and they rekindled my desire to create art. I just didn’t know how to go about it. …

Artwork by Nothando Mkhize

I am a young artist in the market. Began drawing from the age of 5 and picked up a paintbrush for the first time in 2021.
Art is my hope. It is the untainted part of me that hasn’t been wounded by my life. Art is what i have to offer in this life. The hands of a painter.
A particular challenge that I have is confidence about my art. I could finish a painting, admire it but begin to doubt it when I would like to show it to the next person.
I would like to learn everything in art and how to make long lasting art that can be perceived after i am dead. …

My story is a very simple one. I have always had a passion for art. For over 20 years I had a successful business painting ceramic tiles for customers all over the world from India to Mexico. Then the big earthquake struck Los Angeles and I changed direction and went back to work in an office for the next 15 years. In between I lost my husband to cancer and remarried. Then, in 2011 I officially retired. I was at a loss as to how to occupy my time after working in an office surrounded by people and activity for so long. One day I stumbled on an art school that was giving a free trial class. I decided to try it. Bingo! My passion was renewed, and I signed up. I took classes until COVID hit and the school was forced to close. I was lucky enough to have a studio in my home, and with music in the background, brush in hand, a palette full of bold oil colors and a blank canvas waiting to be filled, I painted. …
