Life On Its Side Studios

Life On Its Side Studios Offering fine art sales, art classes, special art events, and studio rentals. Life On Its Side Studios was founded by artist and art educator Susan Lee.

The studio's mission is to create a safe space for all who need somewhere to create. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, religious affiliation. With almost two decades experience, Susan focuses on ensuring her students not only learn solid artistic foundations, but that they also learn some life lessons along the way. Although she was trained as an Impressionist oil pain

ter, she has taken those techniques and created her own comic book as well as illustrated books. Susan also has a background as a filmmaker and theater director. She has also written several books, including her "accidentally inspirational" memoir, "Courage To Be Simple."

Unfortunately, there won't be an art workshop on June 18 as I am moving into a new gallery space through the end of the week. (New for me, not a new gallery.) So I need the time to get things moved and set up. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing something on June 25th or just wait until next month.

Finally put in some time fixing the face on Louis Armstrong. Sometimes the drawing goes to hell once you start painting. I think I fixed all the major issues so now I can focus on finishing it.
