Marathon Perspective: Katherine Earle, Teaching Assistant
When I first found my way to a New York Studio School course with Jilaine Jones a few years back, I did not have much experience working in three dimensions. Beyond a rather spectacular failure to achieve my artistic vision in a block of rosewood in high school, I had mostly shied away from creating […]

Student Perspective: Naomi Nemtzow on the NYSS Sculpture Program
Artist Naomi Nemtzow discusses her experience in Lee Tribe’s Virtual Evening Sculpture Class. After years of making paintings and collages in two dimensions, my work started telling me it wanted a third dimension. Lee Tribe’s Thursday night class has been a terrific place to explore the challenge of building 3D wall pieces, adding physical substance […]

Student Perspective: Nick Hill, MFA 2022
When I was in undergraduate studies, I was already under the mindset that I was going to obtain my masters degree somewhere. Having attended a Drawing Marathon at the New York Studio School the summer before my graduation from Tulsa University, I already had a taste of what the possibilities at the New York Studio […]

Alumni Perspective: Mark Milroy (MFA 2018) Discusses his Exhibition at Nancy Margolis Gallery
What a great surprise it was the day I received a letter from Lilian the Associate Director of Nancy Margolis Gallery. At first, I thought how do they know me? Is this real? I knew the gallery and several of the artists that they have shown and more than that the significance of the gallery. Nancy […]

Alumni Studio Visit: Georgia McGovern, MFA 2019
NYSS: Describe a typical day in your studio. Georgia McGovern: I often work “in the field” out in nature or cities taking notes and sketching, but I also have a small studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn, that I share with a soapmaker. The bulk of my studio time is in the preparatory drawings. Even if […]

2021 Hohenberg Travel Award: Bee Chessman
The Hohenberg travel award allowed me a month of the freedom an artist craves: time to simply look with the quietness of mind and internal space to welcome the effect of beautiful and astounding things. This past November was spent wandering, seeing and drawing. Weeklong returns to the same museum were punctuated by treasure hunt […]

Alumni Studio Visit: Rosie Lopeman, Certificate 2016
NYSS: Describe a typical day in your studio. Rosie Lopeman: What feels meaningful keeps changing, so I’m finding ways to follow it. To begin, I have to let all this content arise:— anxiety, restlessness, inspiration, doubt, ambitions — all this stuff has to be allowed to wash over me for a while. I just need […]

Alumni Studio Visit: Carol Diamond
NYSS: Describe a typical day in the studio. Carol Diamond: My studio is in my home and my home is my studio; I walk through it and am IN it most of the day, especially during the months of Zoom teaching. So, being in the studio doesn’t make it a Studio Day. Typically, I multitask […]

Student Perspective – Virtual Marathon: Samantha Howard
Before taking Room with a View Virtual Landscape Painting Marathon with Fran O’Neill, I had not done much landscape painting. In my own work, I consider myself a still life painter, but was drawn to this particular Marathon because of the implications of its title. In my recent work I had been increasingly exploring interiors […]
