Jug, Flowers and Lion
Matt Miller is a native of Buffalo New York. He started drawing at an early age and was often seen with pencil, pen, or charcoal in hand. He took several drawing classes at this time, however as he grew and adulthood came upon him, a long hiatus in his art took place. Later, as an accomplished adult, he took up drawing and oil painting with renewed zeal, studying with several skilled local artists, taking classes at a number of local studios and the Rhode Island School of Design. He came across the artwork of David Leffel and became heavily influenced by his work, attending numerous training sessions over the next few years with Mr. Leffel and his wife Sherrie McGraw in California and in Taos NM. Matt’s works can be seen in several local galleries in the Boston metro area.

For further class information, please contact Susan at 508-279-1590 or e-mail at srboerman@comcast.net. Susan always loved to draw since childhood. Her high school art teacher encouraged her to major in art in college. What she really wanted to do was illustrate medical books, but when she found out you had to go to medical school just like a would-be doctor she decided against it. Susan is a homebody so she majored in art at Bridgewater State College. She loved the art program there. Her favorite classes were the drawing classes, most especially portraiture. Pencils and pastels were her favorite mediums back then. She graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
In the late 1980's Susan took a craft class which introduced her to acrylic painting. She liked the short drying time as opposed to oils and she eventually started designing her own projects. She sells her work at shows and has been teaching acrylic painting since 2000. In 2001 and 2002 she had 2 decorative painting books published, "It's Great to Create", and "It's Great to Create, Vol.2".
Susan's classes focus on acrylic painting but other mediums are used such as colored pencils and beginner watercolor projects.
Although her work now is whimsical, Susan’s traditional drawing roots help her create some realism when needed. She has been making and selling prints of her current paintings. Susan has an Etsy shop www.susanville.etsy.com, and website, www.susanvilleart.com.
