Independent Study: Studio Art
This class welcomes beginner through advanced students who wish to work on individual projects of their choice in a supportive atmosphere. You will receive as much or as little guidance as you wish while you paint, draw, or create multimedia projects that may include collage, artists books, printmaking without a press, along with other mediums.
The instructor is an experienced professional artist who works in a variety of art mediums and will provide individual guidance and mentorship in a class community of like-minded creative peers.
This class will include a visit to MAM’s galleries during class time to learn from artists on view and be inspired.

Janet Boltax
Janet Boltax has always been powerfully drawn to portraiture and figurative art. During the past 10 years, she has been working on a series of oil portraits in which the paintings are accompanied by interviews she conducts with the sitters. They include 25 portraits of people over 90, 12 portraits of two transgender individuals as they transition, double portraits of identical twins, and others.
She has had numerous solo exhibits of her paintings throughout the U.S., and is also an accomplished printmaker and collagist. Most recently Janet had an extensive article about her work published in the September issue of Artists Magazine along with an online segment which can be accessed here.
She has been teaching art for the past 15 years; the last 10 of them at MAM. Janet loves to teach and is continually striving to introduce new techniques and methods in order to help her students progress and excel in their work."
