NYSS: Describe a typical day in studio. Elizabeth Hazan: Although I make both drawings with ink and watercolor on paper and oil on canvas paintings, I generally dive right into the painting I’ve been working on recently.

Student Perspective: Alison Causer, MFA 2021
I believe it was 2017 when NYSS Alum Case Jernigan wandered into my then studio/living room in Bushwick, Brooklyn. He was visiting his friend who happened to be subletting with us at the time. Case looked at my work and quickly suggested I check out a Marathon at the New York Studio School. I did […]

Student Perspective: Irene Cole, Virtual Certificate
My painting practice for years has been to paint when I had spare time, fitting it in around family and work schedules all the while dreaming about going to art school to dive deeper into the process. The need to spend so much time away from home to accomplish my goal has held me back […]

Student Perspective – Virtual Marathons: Ariane Guelich
The Virtual Sculpture Marathon with Bruce Gagnier, at first a compromise solution, has been in many ways a discovery for me. My initial disappointment of not being able to come to New York because of its exceptional current situation was soon outshone by new connections with peers each committed to their own concentrated practice in […]

I learned about perceptual drawing, space in a drawing, positive and negative space, the picture plane, warm and cool colors, and plasticity. I was hooked. I took […]

Alum Don Kimes Interviewed by Art Historian Barbara Rose

I was delighted to be able to attend “Abstracting the Landscape” Virtual Drawing Marathon, with Fran O’Neill from my home in northern Vermont.
