DAVID KASSAN & SHANA LEVENSON
PAINTING THE PORTRAIT BEYOND THE PHOTO
August 7th-11th, 2026 / 10am-4pm
Join artists David Kassan and Shana Levenson in a transformative 5-day in-person painting workshop where you’ll delve into both classical and contemporary oil painting techniques.
This immersive experience will involve a deep exploration of the formal elements of representational painting such as form, tone, value, color matching, edges, proportions, and composition. Shana & David will also offer guidance to students exploring conceptual art, using representational portraiture as a launching point.
The workshop features a photo shoot for image referencing, ongoing demonstrations by both Shana & David, and personalized one-on-one guidance, catering to artists of all levels.
BARBARA HACK
Exploring the Portrait in Oil
October 21st-24th, 2026 / 10am-4pm
Barbara Hack’s work is an ongoing reflection on people and their emotions. Working predominantly in painting mediums, Barbara relishes the challenge of realistic portraiture, and her subject matter reflects her love for figurative work. But she pushes beyond realism, as well, in her desire to capture resonant moments in time. Her work pursues figures from the past with their moods and their contexts. Ephemeral figures are momentary presences that are nonetheless powerful enough to make lasting, even shaping, impressions. Barbara attempts to understand these figures and their ephemerality and to share that understanding with others.
