A Special Word to my students.....

Yet again another year has zoomed by, quicker than the last! I am excited to start the next session of art lessons...every January is another opportunity to see intense artistic growth in the dedicated Hidden Talent Students/Artists and to introduce our special school to others that want to learn to follow their passion!
I am gratefull to all the students who have helped me throughout the year-lots of set ups at our art shows, manning the guestbook or the 'goodies' table, trade fair fun and promotion, and Artists Colony evenings, to mention just a few things. Hidden Talent is so sucessful because of your deep sense of caring and community, your eagerness to learn and your part in making HT a welcomimg studio.

The growth of Hidden Talent is in direct relationship to the artistic growth of its students...Every year we attract larger crowds, more returning patrons, more sales, more opportunities. Every year word gets around that our kind of art,' realism' is exceptional, that Hidden Talent students are exceptional!

This year watch for-new drawing lessons, a Gallery owner workshop in Feb., Edmonton Gallery exposure, and special workshops! I am looking forward to being with you and sharing a  very memorable artisticly-rich  New Year!

December at the Art School

Recap:

December has been a wonderful month. Our Student Exhibition has attracted more and more fans who marveled at the quality of artwork...they keep telling me they can't believe their eyes! Each year we expand the gallery and each year we are CROWDED!

This year the exhibition had a few surprizes- paintings went out on approval! Alex from Tu Gallery came by and was excited by the art!, and I sold Rendezvous, the large french restaurant painting!

It is apparent that there is an expectation that this fantastic art should be for sale as well as for show.We will definately remember this next year!

Thanks to all that invited our guests, brought goodies, help man the tables, clean up after the exhibiton, and for all the lovely and thoughtful gifts. The excitement, enthusiasm and dedication of the Hidden Talent students is what I live for! It is so fullfilling to see these wonderful student/artists blossom. I have the best job in the world!
