Meet Your Instructors…

Ada Jarvis

Ada Jarvis is self taught in the art of pique assiette (mosaics incorporating broken china, glass, tiles, found items). She teaches workshops in this art and sells pieces in various shops. She also paints with acrylics and oils, preferring minis and glass balls. 

Monica Foulston

I began my art journey “officially” in 2016. I bought on old painting and painted right over it. The positive response on social media inspired me to push myself to purchase a quality canvas and materials and create more artwork and I haven’t stopped since.  Visit: monicafoulston.com

Deborah Mount

Deborah Mount is a credentialed art teacher for the State of California and works in the Rialto School District as a substitute teacher—primarily for the VAPA teams (Visual and Performing Art) at every elementary school in our district. Before retiring in 1999, she was an Art teacher at Rialto High School for twenty years and currently teaches “part time” at Redlands Art Association and Lake Arrowhead Christian School. 

As an artist, she is passionate about sharing the visual arts with children knowing this will equip them with lifelong skills and an appreciation for the artwork of others as well as helping them to develop and discover their own talents and creativity.  She also feels it is important to learn about art history and the art of many cultures for enrichment.  Art is a “visual language” that surpasses barriers of time, culture, genders and language. In addition, it is vital for students to learn the Elements of Art and Principles of Design and develop a foundation for a life-long love of the arts.

Penny Palmer

Penny’s enthusiasm working with clay has been her passion for the past 50 years! Wheel throwing unique and beautiful functional wares, teaching, hand building and running the studio with Nancy are my interests.

Nancy Roeder

Nancy loves hand building pottery and she has been teaching for ten years. Her one of a kind creations have won her a place and prizes in local juried Art shows.

Holly Warner

Holly Warner has a passion for watercolors and has been teaching since 2017. Her classes encourage experimentation with style, techniques, subject matter, and foundations. She will challenge you to be creative and find your own artistic voice.

Debra Wick

“Beauty and color uplift the human spirit as they draw us into the awe and wonder of God’s creation.” This is the aim I pursue in my paintings, and why they are shared with others. Watercolor, acrylics and alcohol inks are the mediums I work in to produce bold colors or interesting atmospheres of the subjects that intrigue me and stimulate the creative juices to put art to paper or canvas.

Before retiring as a floral designer, I enrolled in watercolor classes (12 years ago), and I was hooked! I’ve been under the tutelage of Ed Stello and Holly Warner. So much to learn…so many ‘rules’ to break! As I progressed, I joined RAA and other local art associations and continue to show my work in their galleries.
