Instructors Show

Steven Assael

The bullet holes in the office wall prove that the Palette has been haunted for many years.

Michael Van Zeyl

a strong and  elegant, though not very psychological or painterly portrait.
The sitter appears to be a good wife, mother, and probably a businesswoman as well.

Helen OhHere’s to messy beds everywhere

Clayton Beck

Feels like a display of house wares in a department store.

Lawrence Paulsen

Debra BalchenThe only sculpture instructor who made any effort to put her work into this show.Presumably, the other instructors no more needed to show their work than their prospective students need to see it.  The beginning piano student does not need a Horowitz to teach the basics.

Michael Van Zeyl     More like a parody than a painting in its own right.But still quite entertaining.

Andrew Conklin. A self portrait displaying the courage required to be a traditional artist in a de-skilled artworld.
