Erin Schulz

Ironically, I was first exposed to classical realism and atelier style teaching at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing China ('88-'89) where I had private instruction in portraiture and joined group model sessions with other students. I then had the good fortune of connecting with Juliette Aristides, an instructor at the Gage Academy in Seattle. Juliette provided me with a solid foundation and cemented my appreciation for this approach. In addition to Juliette's teaching, I have since enjoyed workshops and courses through at the Grand Central Academy in New York and Florence Academy of Art in Italy. I currently live and paint on Vashon Island in Washington State.
