Faculty

Becoming a professional artist requires more than just skill and technique. It also requires professionalism, personal commitment and inspiration. Surrounding our students with a faculty of working artists gives them a glimpse into the life of a professional artist, and provides them with a source of guidance to achieving their personal artistic goals.

The success of our students begins with the quality instruction provided by our faculty. Our faculty members represent a broad range of artistic paths. They have been trained in some of the top art schools around the country and around the world. Many have been recognized within their fields through publications and awards. They also bring insight from many sectors of the professional art world. Some have worked in artistic positions within major corporations and organizations. Others have made successful careers in independent freelance or commission work. Several of our faculty are active entrepreneurs who own and manage their own businesses. They each bring a perspective on the life of a professional artist that is grounded in personal experience.

Our faculty is representative of the opportunities that are available to our students in a variety of art fields. They take a proactive interest in the development of each student, both artistically and professionally. We recognize their practical knowledge of fine, commercial, digital and traditional art as one of the great resources available to our students.
