Martin Glaser, a legendary New York graphic designer, famous for creating the ‘I Love New York’ logo, recently spoke about something that’s dear to my heart.  Martin said, “If you can sustain your interest in what you’re doing, you’re an extremely fortunate person.  What you see very frequently in people’s professional lives, and perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they lose interest in the third act.  You sort of get tired, and indifferent, and sometimes, defensive and you kind of lose your capacity for astonishment, and that’s a great loss, because the world is a very astonishing place.”

Most of my students lead very busy lives, are professional businessmen and women, own businesses and some are taking care of large families.  I also stay very busy with my classes, painting, the business side of what I do, and daily life.  It takes effort to re-charge and refresh the creative side but it's vitally important.

I’m in the third act of my life and  I still find wonder in observing nature, seeing the cloud formations before a storm, and getting up early to watch the sunrise over the misty waters of the Chattahoochee River. 

I agree with Martin Glaser, the world is a very astonishing place and I hope you're able to take the necessary time to be utterly astonished too! - Jill Saur

Painting Classes Roswell, GA

"My students have wonderful chemistry with each other.  Oftentimes, the studio is abuzz with stimulating conversation and funny stories.  However, it's the most talkative during a class when nobody is saying a word.  Why?  Because when my students are caught up in creating their masterpieces, they’re speaking volumes with their brushstrokes, their paint, and their facial expressions!  It’s my great pleasure to witness and be a part of these moments.  The type of silence that speaks is sometimes filled with the most meaningful conversations!" – Jill Saur

Please enjoy these finished artworks and works of art in progress by my awesome students!  To see more of my students work, or to inquire about taking art classes with me, please read the "Classes" section of my website.  CLICK HERE

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

I'm seeing my students putting time and effort into their works of art and I'm really proud of them for being persistent!  Becoming an artist requires just enough patience to make you slow down and observe what's going on around you.  It requires sticking to what you're working on and being willing to do it several times in order to make new discoveries and grow in the process!  

Please enjoy these new works along with several works in progress by my students.

My classes are usually full.  However, I have several openings for new students right now.  If you're interested in joining a class, please read more about what I teach.  CLICK HERE
