Patrick Rausch
Biography: Born in 1948 in West Palm Beach, Florida, Patrick grew up with tropical and ocean surroundings. Numerous trips since childhood to the Florida Keys and years of diving and sailing along with having a home in the Ocala National Forest for a number of years has had a strong and lasting influence on the subjects Patrick chooses to paint. From beautiful cloud formations at sunset to a quaint cottage in the Keys, to tranquil backcountry landscapes, to soothing seascapes, he finds and captures a feeling that relates to the beauty around us. A traditional approach to painting is used that involves a number of painting layers and also a number of glazing layers which create texture, depth, and illumination.
Philosophy and instruction: I have been painting and drawing most of my life and continue to get a thrill every time I paint. In addition, I get a great deal of satisfaction sharing with others what others have shared with me. Painting and drawing are very teachable and in time, creativity will follow and flow.

All levels, oil or acrylic. You can bring a photo or paint along with Patrick who will answer questions and help with problems. Areas covered will be composition, color mixing, drawing/transferring reference photo, and basic brush techniques.
Welcome to “Painting with Patrick”. These painting sessions are open to beginners and also to those that have been painting for some time that would like to go to the next level.
I use oil paints for my demonstration paintings as well as my studio paintings, but feel free to use acrylic paints if you prefer them.
During the first class, I will begin a new painting in front of the class. This will include a demonstration showing how to begin a painting. Also discussed will be elements that make a painting more pleasing to the eye (composition) , the mixing of colors, drawing (how to transfer your image to the canvas) and basic brush technique. Each additional class over the six-week period will begin with a painting demonstration where I will take the painting started the first week to the next level. The remainder of the class time will be spent painting, where I will be available to answer questions and help with problems. The subject matter of the paintings I demonstrate vary from month to month but include Florida landscapes, seascapes, island cottages, tropical foliage, nautical settings and still life.
The art students can bring in a photo that they would like to paint, a painting already started, or they can paint the same painting along with the instructor as I complete the painting over the six week period.

Bob Stinziano
I have been drawing all my life. I spent some time painting with an airbrush, but returned to pencil. I find pencil art is the purest form of art. Working with pencil allows me better control than any kind of brush.
After retiring and moving to Florida with my wife I started concentrating on portrait drawing, I find them most challenging. In the past few years I have added color pencil to my artwork. I work with graphite and color pencil, separately and combined.
Drawing is truly a great way to escape from day to day life. It’s easy to carry a pencil and paper with you wherever you go, so you can always be drawing.

Being self-taught, Ruth displays a great interest in art history and trying every medium available. Her love for oils and plein air painting started about 10 years ago. Ruth has participated in many Plein Air Paintouts all over Florida, and has been an invited guest plein air painter at Epcot theme park in Orlando for 5 years.

Betty Parker
Painting and manipulating paper then composing a picture gives me a feeling of being totally creative. It is a dimension above the Commercial Art which I studied, and the Realism courses I took, when learning to master oil, watercolor and acrylics. It stirs up an innate drive to create using a tactile technique. My pictures reflect personal messages, moods and stored thoughts which I wish to share with the viewer. I find collaging and de `collaging in this minimalistic, non-representational style very exciting and fulfilling.
I was born in the central part of Virginia near Gordonsville. After high school, and Washington SchooI of Art, I moved to Richmond, VA, and accepted a job with State Farm Insurance which transferred me to Daytona Bch. Six months after meeting James Parker, who had recently transferred from Miami with Florida Power and Light we were married. We had three children. Shortly after our second child was born, Daytona Beach Junior College became accredited. I enrolled and subsequently received an AA, then transferred to the University of Central Florida where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. During the period of seeking a bachelor’s degree, I. held a full time paid position with the American Lung Association (ALA). Eventually, the position of Regional Director was offered to me, which I accepted. After a 19 year career with The ALA, I retired and resumed art activates. Participating in outdoor art shows for ten years, gave me the outlet to display my artwork. Many pieces received judge’s awards and were bought by collectors. Other venues for displaying and selling the work have been in Art Galleries, Museums and Art Leagues in Daytona Beach, St. Augustine and other cities in the United States. Currently, I teach drawing at The Artists’ Workshop, Inc. in New Smyrna Beach, FL.; present demonstrations and judge art exhibits.

Learn the ease of making colored pencil look like a painting. Beginner to advanced students are welcome. Each student will work at his or her own level of skill and interest. Students new to colored pencil or just new to art will be provided with structured activities to help develop basic skills, and theory. Students that have been working in colored pencil for a while will work on refining techniques and be introduced to new ones while exploring new mediums and surfaces.
The first class we will do a color wheel in colored pencil to get use to pencil technique and pencil colors. We will then do a small project together learning how to develop value by layering. After that, while I will always have a supply of projects to do, each student is encouraged to bring projects that are of interest to them. As the classes continue, we will work on technique, value, color, and theory while adding other techniques and skills.
This class will be a lot of fun. Pencils are a great medium. They are so portable and there is no mess or clean up. You do not need to carve out a lot of time. They can be picked up for 5 minutes or 5 hours.

Beau Wild
A native Floridian, Beau Wild was educated in occupational therapy at Tufts University and in painting at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts, both in Boston. Dual roles as therapist and painter spanned decades and each enhanced the success of the other. She returned to her childhood hometown of Daytona Beach in 1983 after 22 years in New England. Since then, Wild has shown her work in nationwide art festivals, competitions and museums including the Museum of Florida Art, Florida Museum for Women Artists, Melbourne’s Foosaner Art Museum, Ormond Memorial Art Museum, Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, St. Petersburg College, Coral Springs Museum of Art and Tampa’s Museum of Science and Industry as well as in an international exhibition in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, UK.
Wild has won a variety of awards, including “Best In Show” in competitive exhibits and has participated in both solo and group exhibitions regionally and nationally. Today, Wild paints daily in her studio/gallery along Rose Bay in Port Orange, Florida.
Artist Statement
As early as I can remember I was an observer, a “people watcher”. Several questions intrigued me then and continue to intrigue me now – Why people do what they do? What motivates their actions and reactions? What make us all “tick”? Whether it is an elderly woman’s feeling of isolation, the outsider’s anxiety when courting a new friend, the unforgotten lives of those who have passed, these deeply empathic connections are sensitive glimpses. Most recently, I am compelled to address some our our most pressing and often most contentious social and political problems within the topic of women’s issues. Issues include domestic violence and a closer look into our indigenous women and girls who are disproportionately targets for hatred, violence, kidnapping and murder. Whether I create work in a non objective or figurative abstract format, these personal glimpses open a small window through which I can hopefully increase a clearer understanding of the issue and inspire change for the benefit of all of us.

Bob Stinziano
I have been drawing all my life. I spent some time painting with an airbrush, but returned to pencil. I find pencil art is the purest form of art. Working with pencil allows me better control than any kind of brush.
After retiring and moving to Florida with my wife I started concentrating on portrait drawing, I find them most challenging. In the past few years I have added color pencil to my artwork. I work with graphite and color pencil, separately and combined.
Drawing is truly a great way to escape from day to day life. It’s easy to carry a pencil and paper with you wherever you go, so you can always be drawing.

Beau Wild
A native Floridian, Beau Wild was educated in occupational therapy at Tufts University and in painting at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts, both in Boston. Dual roles as therapist and painter spanned decades and each enhanced the success of the other. She returned to her childhood hometown of Daytona Beach in 1983 after 22 years in New England. Since then, Wild has shown her work in nationwide art festivals, competitions and museums including the Museum of Florida Art, Florida Museum for Women Artists, Melbourne’s Foosaner Art Museum, Ormond Memorial Art Museum, Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, St. Petersburg College, Coral Springs Museum of Art and Tampa’s Museum of Science and Industry as well as in an international exhibition in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, UK.
Wild has won a variety of awards, including “Best In Show” in competitive exhibits and has participated in both solo and group exhibitions regionally and nationally. Today, Wild paints daily in her studio/gallery along Rose Bay in Port Orange, Florida.
Artist Statement
As early as I can remember I was an observer, a “people watcher”. Several questions intrigued me then and continue to intrigue me now – Why people do what they do? What motivates their actions and reactions? What make us all “tick”? Whether it is an elderly woman’s feeling of isolation, the outsider’s anxiety when courting a new friend, the unforgotten lives of those who have passed, these deeply empathic connections are sensitive glimpses. Most recently, I am compelled to address some our our most pressing and often most contentious social and political problems within the topic of women’s issues. Issues include domestic violence and a closer look into our indigenous women and girls who are disproportionately targets for hatred, violence, kidnapping and murder. Whether I create work in a non objective or figurative abstract format, these personal glimpses open a small window through which I can hopefully increase a clearer understanding of the issue and inspire change for the benefit of all of us.
