Old Masters Academy

Artwork by Aditya

My name is Aditya Aryan. I am a fine artist, writer, and explorer. But at the center of everything that I pursue, art is the pulse of my life. It is the one place where I see truth, beauty, and liberation, and where I am able to say things that words usually fail to express.

Art, for me, is not a vocation or an avocation—it is my raison d’être. It is the culmination of my inner world and the outer world. It is the vehicle by which I navigate life, culture, spirituality, and history, and by which I envision leaving a legacy that transcends mortality. …

Artwork by Carol

As an artist i use several media; oils, pastel, graphite, charcoal, and a little watercolor. Portraiture is my special interest. (Although documenting a stunning scene in nature is a close second.)

As an art teacher my students learn to see as an artist sees, and develop the skills necessary to draw and/or paint what they see. More fun are a few classes I do at an independent and assisted living facility. …

Artwork by Kathryn D Smith

I have been getting emails from Old Masters Academy for a number of years now. I have just kept painting, doing the one thing in life that has meaning to me and is my escape from my daily life as a carer. I started portrait painting about a year ago, and know I need to improve my application and master techniques that I know Old Masters Art Academy teaches. I am in my latter years of life 74, but I believe you can never stop learning and one can paint right up to their end days.

Artwork by Tayabah Hana

My name is Tayabah Hana, and I am an aspiring artist who mainly works in drawing and watercolour painting. For me, art is a way to process emotions and experiences that I sometimes can’t express in words. When I draw or paint, I feel connected to something bigger—a sense of possibility and discovery.

Artwork by Misa

Hey, I’m a 20-year-old student who finds beauty to be the greatest muse. I deliberately seek inspiration in nature, people, music, and everything else that holds beauty. Over time, I’ve become very sensitive to it.

Art is everywhere—for those with eyes to see it. I believe the purpose of life is to create, and there’s art in that: in creation. …

Artwork by Jerico Acosta

I have been painting for my entire life, especially animals and people. But having no art education, I need to learn good painting skills.

Artwork by Mary Beth Daloia-Kahabka

I am a 70 year old artist from Mechanicville, NY. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil but I really became serious after I took an oil painting class in 1996. Now I work primarily in oils.

Art isn’t just a hobby for me. It is part of who I am. It’s my way of processing the world around me and a way to express my inner thoughts and feelings. I spend approximately 16 hours a week creating art. …

Artwork by Stephanie

Hi, my name is Stephanie, a young Catholic artist who, from a young age, found a passion for art. When I was six years of age, my mother noticed my skills and enrolled me in an art school. At the end of an art lesson within the first few weeks, my art teacher spoke to my mother about how I was completing artworks that students between the ages of ten and twelve were able to create. …
