In this class, we’ll explore how to recognize, assess, and respond to transitions in your landscape with confidence.

  • Bodies and Souls

    Bodies and Souls
    Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 118-128 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    “My concern is with humanity. I want to confront the viewer with life and with what we are doing to each other.

Rooted in painting but
