  QUALIFICATIONS:
  • ·         While in Florida Lorelle was nominated 4 years in a row for the prestigious Friends of the Arts Award for teaching by the board of The Pinellas County Arts Council.
·         In Gulfport, Florida, Lorelle had her own gallery which she moved to North Carolina and held classes there as well for three more years. She then sold it to allow her to concentrate on her painting and teaching.

In addition Lorelle has been in numerous National and International exhibits and has won many awards for her work.


I am mostly a self taught artist that truly believes that anyone CAN learn to do good art "IF" they have the desire!  I enjoy not only creating my own artwork, but sharing what I have learned others as well. 

ATTENTION:
Hi Everyone! 
Spring is almost upon us and is the busiest time for classes.  Reminders of scheduled classes are below along with NEW CLASSES!  A couple of changes and reminders:  At River's Edge Studio, we now have a calendar in the classroom that you may sign up for classes on.  This will allow students to see in a glance what is coming up, how full the class is, and to reserve their spot!  It will help us to keep up as well. (You know how busy Fleta and I are!) We are asking that students sign up the end of one month for any classes they would like to take the following month.  It helps with planning and again, reserves your seat. Also, if for any reason you need to miss a class you sign up for, you may make it up in one of the Studio classes on Mondays or Weds. but, it will need to be made up within a months time.  Fair for both you and me! You may pay with check, cash or I currently can invoice you on Pay Pal so you can use your credit card via PAYPAL on my phone and email you a reciept! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________    RIVERS EDGE STUDIO - 191 Lyman Rd. in the River Arts District, Asheville
828 776-2716  school phone number   

These are the things planned that I will be teaching at RIVER'S EDGE STUDIO through the summer!  Call 828 595-6007 or email me 
lorelleartist@hotmail.com, or go by the studio and Fleta will register you there.  I now have capabilities so you can use your credit card either scanning it or invoicing you through Pay Pal.  NOTE: River Arts District Studio Stroll is 8th and 9th so mark your calendars now!  

PAINTING ANIMALS  (Wild or Tame) 
Weds. 1 to 4  April 10 through May 15. 
This is a six week workshop. Use your medium of choice.  Learn how to paint realistic animals, pets, etc. in your favorite medium!  How to make fur look real whether it is soft, long, short or fuzzy!  Do you want to include a background?  Do you need a background?  How close should you get, what's the best way to get a good photo to use as a reference? (lets face it animals don't hold still long enough or in the case of lions, etc. you don't want to get too close!
Come join us for this fun workshop!

July 11 and 25 COMPOSITION is the focus and it's not as complicated as they make it out to be! Learn how to apply a few basic principals and make any subject you chose to paint lead the viewers eye where you want it to go. A must if you enter shows or want to sell your work.
