For over 70 years, all levels of artists, from professional to the beginner, have turned to American Artist for ideas and inspiration to improve their craft. Their unique combination of respected editorial, in-depth profiles in multi-topic issues, and numerous informative columns makes American Artist the preferred publication to cover all aspects of art instruction.
“Being selected as the American Artist magazine’s Artist of the Month is an enormous honour and a great thrill for me. I have been a subscriber to this well-respected publication for many years, both in its original magazine format, and more recently in its highly informative digital format. When I saw the call for entries for the Artist of the Month contest, I submitted five pieces of my work that, though all figure based, would best display the depth and breadth of my current work. Featured here are those five pieces.”
