Art in Residence

Make an impression

Here's the thing about large-format art - it's bold. It's fabulous. It's powerful. And it's in your children's reach. 


We'll start with a meaningful subject or image. I create the composition and draw a few leading lines on the canvas to get the young artists started. 


With some artful direction from me (I am an arts educator who delights in teaching young artists), the participating children paint the body of the work. During the 4-6 hour session, I offer professional art instruction and document the experience with photos.


After the session, I can add small touches (as needed or requested - this is completely optional). I then varnish the canvas and prepare it to be cherished and displayed in your home. 


I invite you to scroll through the gallery below of recent Art In Residence sessions. The creations are magnificent. The experience is so very rich in content, emotion, and the goodness that only art can deliver. 


This will be an heirloom in your family for generations to come.

    FAQ

    What sizes are offered?

    The Art in Residence experience comes in 3 sizes - the Louvre, the Guggenheim & the de Young. 

    Louvre size:  48x48 or 48x60 inches

    Guggenheim size: 36x36 or 36x48 inches

    de Young size: 30x30 or 30x40 inches

    What is the cost?

    The Louvre size is $1600

    The Guggenheim size is $1400

    The de Young size is $1200

    What is included in the cost?

    Set up, clean up, all art instruction, all art materials, finishing and varnishing of painting, hanging mounts, and the photographic images captured during the session. 

    Is the canvas stretched?

    Yes. Your canvas will be a stretched gallery-wrapped canvas.

    Will I need to frame the artwork?

    That is completely up to you! The gallery wrap allows you to hang the artwork right away. 

    Is session length negotiable?

    The standard rate covers 4-6 hours of painting and instruction. Younger artists may prefer a shorter session (or 2 shorter sessions if schedules allow it). 


    Each group is unique. I have worked with families that prefer an action-packed 4 hour session and families that have little artists begging for more time after 6 hours. Needs, skill level and beyond will be discussed in your advance consultation. I will plan the session with your family's needs in mind. 

    How do you navigate breaks?

    Great question. The beauty of doing this 'in residence' is that little artists feel comfortable to take a detour and then return to the painting. Those small breaks also allow me to step in and modify the artwork as needed. 


    No doubt some participants have a longer attention span than others. It all works. The goal is to end the session with a feeling of accomplishment (which I love seeing in the eyes of the artists!), gaining new skills, and creating something together that everyone gets to enjoy.

    Will you travel for a booking?

    Absolutely! Travel expenses are simply added to my standard rates (shown above). 


    Email me and we will add your city to the schedule!

    How many artists can participate?

    The standard rate covers up to 4 participants (not including the instructor). 

    I'd like to have more people participate. Can i do that?

    Of course! You may have more than 4 artists for an additional fee of $100 per additional artist. 

    Who signs the painting?

    The names of all of the participants will be signed on the painting. If artists are old enough to sign their own names, excellent. If not, I will do that for them. 

    How do I book?

    Please email me with your location and requested dates. We'll take it from there. 

    A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.
