Master Art Teachers

Today my hat is off to teachers who give so much of their time, energy and knowledge; while at times juggling important commissions schedules around class schedules.

Master Artists I have studied with: Constance Flavell Pratt (Copley Society, Master Artist in pastel), Bob Cormier (Boston School trained artist, we painted beautifully dressed models in natural light), Michael Shane Neal (wonderful workshop in advanced oil painting) and Everett Raymond Kinstler (workshops by 2nd generation student of John Singer Sargent; ERK a famed, beloved artist of 6 U.S. Presidents). These teachers are the ones who have had the most impact on my work and my inner constitution.

Sonia Hale is an award-winning, nationally-collected artist in Boston. She paints commissioned portraits for families and institutions nationwide. Her original landscape and still life oil paintings can be purchased at http://www.soniahale.com. For more information, go to http://www.soniahale.com.
