Constantly being around different artists is very inspirational. After working in the COLORS studio for several weeks I have gotten to know all of the other instructors, whom are all artists. Cathie Layton works mainly with pottery and teaches in the SAM art school along with Korey. Korey has a BFA in printmaking, but works with all media. Amy is a new instructor from Texas and has a BFA in graphic design. Mary Harris is currently working towards her BFA in studio arts from Converse. Toddrick is the last instructor, and I would like to focus this blog post on his work. He has natural artistic talent that literally blows me away. He has had no formal training other than the few classes he took in high school. Most of his work in in graphite or colored pencil and is very realistically rendered. He has a natural talent for looking at a photograph and drawing it in a larger scale. He is always searching for ways to learn and improve. He is very optimistic and determined; hopefully his spirit will rub off on me while I am at the COLORS studio. The following are photographs of Toddrick's recent work:
