ARTISTS’ STUDIO GALLERY & SCHOOL OF FINE ART |
|
|
|
The Artists’ Studio Gallery & School of Fine Art is a unique concept created by artists Sally Nooney and Paul Zipperlin. Their love and enthusiasm for painting compelled them to open their art school and gallery. |
|
“We wanted a studio atmosphere where artists of all levels could come to work and learn together; and receive encouragement and inspiration.” |
|
|
|
.
Classes are by the day, rather than six or eight week sessions. “We felt that a flexible schedule would better fit our community, since we have so many people coming and going here in the mountains. We are always teaching the three C’s of painting, so a student doesn’t feel they’re missing something important if they have to miss a class." |
|
They also wanted to give vacationers the opportunity to paint while they’re in the area. “We’ve had several that have taken classes while visiting in the High Country.” |
|
|
|
Adult classes for all levels continue each month in oil, acrylic, and watercolor.
