Classical Realism

I created these artworks while studying at the Academy of Realist Art Boston, a classical atelier approved by the Art Renewal Center. The ARA models its curriculum after the 19th-century French Salon Academy. I have been a student since 2019 and am currently enrolled in their oil painting program.
