Working Group for Abstract Painters

A small, ongoing critique group for abstract painters working toward stronger, more resolved work.
Limited to ten painters. Meets twice monthly over seven months.

What this is

Not a course or a series of lessons.
A structured working group centered on direct critique, sustained attention, and the development of individual bodies of work over time.

Who it’s for

For painters already working consistently with an established studio practice.
When the work is active but inconsistent, or there is a gap between what is being made and what feels possible.
A willingness to engage directly with critique, remain in process, and continue to work over time is essential.

Who it’s not for

Not for beginners, hobbyists, or those seeking step-by-step instruction.

Structure

Meets every two weeks on Wednesdays, 6–8pm EST.
Sessions take place online via Zoom.
Focused on critique, discussion, and the development of each painter’s work over time.
Seven-month working period with short breaks built into the schedule.
Next group begins November 2026.
Tuition: $1200.

My role

I provide direct, sustained critique to help each painter clarify and strengthen their work without imposing a fixed outcome or style.
