I have taken several workshops and classes with Shane. He is patient, passionate and has a wonderful formula to help students become confident in their journey of learning to paint or draw. Highly recommend his classes or workshops from beginner to advanced. - Nina

Alway learning something in a very enjoyable atmosphere.

It was great as always!
Shane you are a very patient professional!
Thanks❤️

This is a great small group opportunity to draw or paint with a live model. The room is small so you have a great view of the subject and everyone is friendly and supportive. There are a variety of styles and skill levels. Shane is a welcoming host.

Great at everything

gives good instructions and shows you how to improve your art work.

From the very first class, it was clear that I had found a rare and special teacher. Shane is a truly talented artist whose talent shines through his paintings and teaching style! His portraiture captures not just a likeness, but the very soul of his subjects. He has equal proficiency in landscape and figurative art.

Beyond his artistic skill, he is a man of profound humility and kindness. His generosity knows no bounds, and he consistently goes above and beyond, offering his time and wisdom with an open heart.

He is a steadfast advocate for our planet, weaving his environmental consciousness into his lessons and inspiring us to see the world with a more thoughtful and caring eye.

I have taken art classes before, but a teacher like him is a treasure hard to find. It's a true privilege to learn from a person who is not only a brilliant artist, but a truly great human being—a gift to his students and the world. I only wish our paths had crossed sooner.

He also offers workshop, which are tremendously beneficial. I have attended his Plein air and portrait workshops. Can’t wait for the next one to be announced. 

I highly recommend him for learning, from beginner to professional level.

I am having a good time. Every week I am learning new and reinforcing things i had forgotten.
Great open studio
