Gage Academy of Art, Seattle

Gage teaching artists are exhibiting artists chosen for their merit as artists and teachers. Their goal is to communicate the "how" and the "why" of drawing, painting, sculpting and art theory across a range of styles and media. Should you have questions about a particular instructor, we suggest you review their work and background by following the links below.

LOCAL TEACHING ARTISTS: Over many years, well-known Seattle artists have taught at the Academy including Gloria DeArcangelis, Elisabeth Beemster, William E. Elston, Charles Emerson, Paul Havas, Brent Holland, Terry Johnson, Joseph Lesser, Norman Lundin, Peter Malarkey, John Sisko and Francesca Sundsten.

Gage works with a corps of local artists who are handpicked for their skills at communicating the core concepts of artmaking as well as encouraging artists to stretch their technical and creative potential.
