What we love about this studio

Learning Art History by Doing

Paul brings a caring, engaged approach to teaching. He believes art is best understood through a combination of learning, practice, and personal experience. Rather than explaining art history only through words, he guides participants through the approaches artists used, helping them experience the ideas behind the work firsthand.

Structured, with Room to Explore

Each workshop has a clear direction, with room for spontaneity, conversation, and unexpected discoveries. Paul encourages participants to share what they notice, feel, and experience along the way. The result is a shared learning journey that can feel personal, reflective, and connecting.

A Light-Filled Working Studio

Bright paintings, works in progress, brushes, and art supplies fill this light-filled working studio. A large shared table brings everyone together for activities and conversation, and some workshops may also extend to the building’s rooftop lounge.
