Is There Anything I Cannot Bring to Sessions?
I am very sensitive to chemicals and would like to keep an environmental friendly atmosphere for all….therefore: I cannot allow turpentine or brand “Turpenoid” , spray varnishes or other harsh smelling chemicals. Did you know?…you do not need to paint with turpentine when using oil paints? Infact: It muddy’s the paint! Try without it and you will be amazed:)

Yes, please bring your food and drinks, but keep in mind strong smells. We will at times have Pot Luck and other food/drink events too. I will notify ahead when these fun, shared events occur. I do have access to a refrigerator and microwave.






What Kind of Art/Paint supplies do I need to Bring?
Painting is very individual in taste and preference. I will provide a recommended list to “Private Instruction Students” upon registration and any others requesting some direction in their supplies. All Artists are responsible for their own art materials. I will supply water, coffee,  paper towels, bathrooms, occasional snacks, refrigerator, microwave and background music. Recommended  general things to bring: Paint brushes, paints, paint mediums, pencil, canvas, paper, apron, rags, photo references, plastic bags to take home dirty brushes, lunch, snack, drink a pizza box or other to carry home wet art.

Can I Bring a Friend or Child?
If you would like to show a friend/family member you may do so, on a limited time basis. Please keep your visits to 10 minutes! We want to keep this space vacant of outside disturbances.
A creative mind works out-loud on the brush, not the mouth.-Nicole Slater

Can I Arrive Early to Work on my Painting?
15 minutes to get set up is the only early time allowed. If you arrive any earlier the “Loft“ will not be open and you will need to wait outside.

If  there are not enough artists signed up for the “Artist’s Loft”class may be cancelled. I will give a minimum of a 24  hour notice in advance. Reservation payment made will be returned or you will be given choice to use your credit towards the next agreed session.

Will there be Workshops and Art Party’s Available
