Old Masters Academy

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.

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. …

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.
