Tuesday Night Draw

ByMark

By Artist Mentor: Sarah Albinson

IMG_0044In continuation of last years’ after-IMG_0001school art class, Ricky and Grace Johnson and Rachel Kite have been joining me for some advanced drawing courses. It has been so fun to be able to continue these relationships with former interns and students from Hope Academy. They are incredibly talented and watching them grow and continue to excel in their craft, is a delight.

Currently, they are in the process of creating holiday cards for Inverted Arts!! Next they will work on producing a show to display early next year. They have demonstrated determination and talent, and it is fun to fuel it through the passing on of technique and artistic knowledge, as well as through materials and friendship.
