~!Big Studio News!~

We are saddened to say that we have permanently closed our Studio doors to physical classes. The GOOD NEWS is we continue to teach weekly to our wonderful students via our Digital Mentorship Program!

MFAS will be turning into OFAS, the Online Fine Art Studio.
We are so proud of what we created with MFAS and now with our Digital Program and are happy we can keep working with our Missoula community.

Also...We MOVED! Where to? Italy!

We moved for many reasons, but all in all it had been a dream of ours to return there one day to create a Studio in the South near the Sea. As many of you who have been to our Studio know already, we are in love with Italy.

Oddly enough, the current changes in the world from Covid19 gave us the push we needed to make this dream a reality. We know many people and business have had to get creative these days and for us that meant an international move!

You will find us on the Mediterranean island of Sicily. You can find out more about this mythical place by watching the Rick Steves video about the island! We linked it down below.

We plan on creating a little newsletter about our adventures here, of art, life, travel, and of course Italy's food and wine. Quick tip, we highly suggest you try Sicily's Nero d'Avola wine ; )

***********************************************************************

We cannot say thank you enough to the Missoula Community for their gracious support, what a beautiful community. Thankfully we will be visiting as we have plenty of family there!

We will continue to post news about our online students as well as our adventures in Italy so STAY TUNED!!!

Don't hesitate to email us with questions about our online classes, we are happy to help!

Velázquez ,1599 , The Vulcan Forge . Velázquez is one of our favorite painters, and such an interesting one at that! He is a bridge between the old masters and the modern academics. A historic father of many of our Studio Drawing and Painting Principles!
