This show features the paintings of my students from the weekly watercolor class provided and sponsored by Studio ACE.

As their instructor, I am incredibly proud of each and every one of these accomplished artists. They support and attend this class each week with dedication, continuously developing their own unique styles and skills in watercolor.

Many of these artists began with no prior experience in the medium, each bringing their own story of how they found—and stayed with—this class. Their individual journeys are noted in months or years next to their names. What they have achieved is truly inspiring, and now they take that important first step in sharing their amazing work with you!

Many thanks to ACE’s Executive Director and Founder, Julia Fister, and her wonderful staff— Wanda Brown, Michelle Kaskovich, Tey Lin, Erick Perez, and Mitzi Summers— whose efforts made this show a reality and gave these artists a space to shine. Special thanks also to fellow artist and instructor Margaret Chiaro for her help and expert eye in hanging the show so beautifully.

To my amazing and talented group of artists: thank you for inspiring me, sticking with me, and making every week so enjoyable.

Congratulations!

Kene Lohmann, Watercolorist and Arts Instructor
