“I have been very lucky to have participated in several of Julie Gilbert Pollard’s art classes. She is a phenomenal teacher, a very positive, knowledgeable, loving and inspirational artist. She is very helpful knowing just how to nudge people to learn, grow, receive feedback, and explain the complexities of a technique of interest. I highly recommend Julie’s classes – she is always prepared to bring light and fun during her classes.
Thanks and Blessings”

My goal is to individualize instruction as much as possible. I introduce the basics to the beginning student and work with the more advanced student in gaining a more solid knowledge of those same basic techniques, along with the all-important principles and elements of design. I always try to present material in a logical, practical manner, along with a large dose of encouragement with emphasis on motivation and personal taste. In class, beginning painters will work in a structured manner and ALL levels are encouraged to experiment and practice as much as possible in order to build confidence and experience with methods and materials. Workshops generally focus on a method or subject, while weekly classes may offer basic technique or independent projects with guidance as needed and “class projects” as requested. Whatever the venue, my over-riding objective is to support and assist each person in his or her search for individual artistic personality.
