We will practice exercises that allow us to gain skill and understanding with shape, form and color value. As a group, we will look at art books and discuss masterworks in the beginning of class to spark inspiration and conversations between the students. All levels of experience welcome! Please bring all of your questions and best effort.

A Message from Cory:

“At a young age, I began creating and taking as many art classes as I could. After high school, I continued my education at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where I received my BFA. Overthe years, I have been developing my artwork into what I want to create as an artist. Large scale figure paintings are a recurring motif in my studio. Inspiration for my work comes from personal experiences, imagination and thoughts of painting while creating. Painting for me recently is about the new discovery that can be found by expressing what might be thought of as an accident. Allowing my artwork to progress in unexpected and interesting moments on the surface excites me. Currently, my work is focused on evolving paintings in unique painterly ways, making it more about the execution and overall experience of creating and observing the pieces.”

Cory has had his works exhibited at the Art Is, 95th International Juried Show, Figuratively Speaking, and The Silver Screen with the Art Association of Harrisburg, to name a few. He won Best of Show at Figuratively Speaking and 2nd Place for Oil and Acrylics at the 95th International Juried Show. He currently teaches Advanced Painting and teaches classes at the Paxtang Art Association.
