An art portfolio is not simply a collection of your artwork. It is a compilation of carefully selected and photographed images that demonstrate critical thinking, artistic and technical talent. It is a visual résumé of your student’s dedication designed to make them stand apart from thousands of other applicants.
Susan Convery recently retired from 8 years as the advanced drawing and painting high school art teacher at American Heritage School in Plantation FL. Her students received national accolades and were accepted into top-ranked Ivy League Universities and art colleges often with significant scholarships. Susan now offers private, highly personalized guidance to artistically-minded US & international students virtually on Zoom and in person at her home in Plantation, FL.
If you have a student who is a visual thinker, willing to push the boundaries of their own work and serious about improving their options for college, Susan wants to hear from you! Schedule a time to discuss how she can collaborate with you to build a portfolio that will give your student the greatest chance for success.

Lark Keeler and I are collaborating to bring you a virtual book club just for artists. Each month we will be reading and discussing a book for or about artists and nurturing creativity. We are very excited to start with Twyla Tharp's "The Creative Habit".
Creativity is not a gift from the gods, says Twyla Tharp, bestowed by some divine and mystical spark. It is the product of preparation and effort, and it's within reach of everyone who wants to achieve it. All it takes is the willingness to make creativity a habit, an integral part of your life: In order to be creative, you have to know how to prepare to be creative. In The Creative Habit, Tharp takes the lessons she has learned in her remarkable thirty-five-year career and shares them with you, whatever creative impulses you follow -- whether you are a painter, composer, writer, director, choreographer, or, for that matter, a business person working on a deal, a chef developing a new dish, a mother wanting her child to see the world anew.

Rhythm and variation create harmony in music, dance and in art. These beautiful orange orchids appear to dance across the fence. Visually these flowers capture the joy and celebration we have for the end of 2020 and the new possibilities we will create in 2021.
