ARC has been pivotal in the development of my fine art career

Over the past 15 years, the Art Renewal Center has been pivotal in the development of my fine art career. Since early 2000, I had spent years looking for the answers to how I wanted to paint and when I stumbled across the website’s database of academies and ateliers in 2004 I finally found real options for a proper education. I was the recipient of the ARC Student Scholarship several times, which allowed me some financial relief as I was putting myself through school. In 2012 I was awarded the William Bouguereau Award for my piece The Trapper which was simultaneously purchased by the Fred and Sherry Ross Collection in the same year. This of course gained the attention of several galleries which still represent me to this day. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Art Renewal Center and the entire Ross family.
