Our Instruction

Programs at The Art Foundry are led by a small team of artists and artisans who bring their own expertise to studio instruction under the guidance of our Creative Lead, Vivian G. She brings both formal training and a lifetime of artistic immersion to her teaching. With a BFA and MFA in Fine Arts, she has spent years guiding students through their creative development. Growing up in an artist's household where drawing and painting were constants of daily life, Vivian's understanding of art-making is both intuitive and deeply informed. Her approach emphasizes technical foundation while encouraging each student's individual artistic voice, maintaining the intimate, personalized teaching environment that defines us.
