Student Perspectives: Charity Baker MFA 2019
My work is partly autobiographical. I am captivated by human interaction, intimacy and landscape. Responding to real-world people and places, my paintings unfold from a winding, obsessive autobiographical narrative; influenced by a cosmist philosophy in which figures and landscapes are transformative. My curiosity with natural light is used to elaborate this running narrative of people in the […]

Student Perspectives: Carlo Cittadini MFA 2019
I came to the New York Studio School a few years after completing my BFA at Pratt Institute. I was working a studio building in Crown Heights, and although I treasured the community I had there, I felt there was something missing in my paintings; I was almost happy with my work, and I found […]

The Dumfries House Residency: Mark Milroy
A great deal of my work focused on painting and drawing the landscape, beginning with the trees and moving to the stone walls that like the stone of the studio had a pink glow to them. Work that was made there continues into larger canvases in my Brooklyn studio today.

Alumni Studio Visit: Martin Dull
On a typical day in the studio I will arrive around noon. From there I’ll spend time procrastinating, cleaning, wandering around the space, getting my bearings, and gearing up. During this time, I also begin fiddling with any found object assemblages that I have been developing. About an hour or so later, if I have stretchers to assemble and canvases to prepare, I will begin that process. The next phase is painting. This takes a lot of time sitting, walking, looking, and carefully considering all possibilities.
