Her influences include: Arthur Dove, William Blake, Greek sculpture, Balthus, Da Vinci, Magritte, E. Vigee Lebrun, Varo, Carrington, Fantin-Latour, Emily Carr, Asian Thangkas, Dutch flower painters, and many other contemporary artists.

Underwear -Still Life Painting from the Inside Out
Open to all levels of expertise, from the beginner to the advanced exhibting artist.
How a painting is begun is essential to its final success. Working with still life master painter Katherine Ace, students will complete a painting each day during this information filled three-day workshop. Working from direct observation of a still life, each painting will begin with an under layer that will set the tone for three distinctly different stylistic outcomes.

Find Your Personal Figurative Style
Open to all levels of expertise, from the beginner to the advanced exhibting artist.
Go beyond the notion of “good or bad” to work towards an AUTHENTIC way of painting the figure. Each day will begin with class members in a group discussing their intentions and each day will end with a gentle group critique. The goal of this three-day, figurative workshop is to get a greater sense of what is an authentic style or form of expression for each student/artist, and for each student/artist to be able to better articulate and intellectualize it.Not sure if the three day workshop is right for you?
