Student Perspective: Sarah Valeri (CERT 2023)

It is impossible to pinpoint a moment when I noticed a significant change in my work over the past four semesters that I have been at the New York Studio School. Actually, I had not really come with the intention to change anything about the way I made images. After years of painting in relative […]

Student Perspective: Carolina Brunet (V CERT 2023)

My journey to become an artist started fifteen years ago when I quit my job as a graphic designer and started painting full time. I immigrated from Chile to the United States in 2004; I lived in Minneapolis for ten years and it was there I established myself as an abstract painter with a strong […]

Student Perspective: Anita Trombetta (MFA 2023)

Before coming to the New York Studio School, I was working in a studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn. For several years I was making abstracted bodily paintings of food and everyday objects. I was also experimenting with plaster, casting sculptural elements from everyday objects. I felt my approach and tools were limited and I knew I […]

Student Perspective: Paula Wachsstock (CERT 2023) on the Hudson River In-Person Painting Marathon with Clintel Steed

Taking a marathon with Clintel Steed is what I would liken to taking a ride into a world of energized passion and discovery. Recently I completed Hudson River In-Person Painting Marathon with Clintel Steed and I feel as though I had a break through in who I am as a painter, and how I want to […]

Congratulations to Alum Becky Yazdan (MFA 2005) @beckyyazdan on her solo exhibition at Frosch & Company @frosch.and.co, currently on view through July 9!

Read a recent review by Mario Naves in the New York Sun in bio:

"Ms. Yazdan’s pictures are more concrete — statements rather than suppositions. As a painter, she can be gruff with her surfaces, scraping away layers of paint with a palette knife or obliterating previous states of an image with declamatory strokes of color. Getting down to brass tacks is this artist’s m.o.

A tight-lipped humor filters its way through Ms. Yazdan’s art." - Mario Naves

“Fran renewed approaches and concepts that I as

“Fran renewed approaches and concepts that I as an artist-educator was able to immediately apply to the classes I teach, as well as in my studio work. I am newly devoted to varying the intensity of edges, and to making a wide range of marks to depict surfaces and spaces. My use of ink and brush was bolstered; collage is the unsung hero of drawing; red and blue pencils to define spatial protrusions and recessions are brilliant; and, of course, charcoal is everywhere!” - Dorothy Frey
