I can’t believe it’s already August and nearly time to begin a new school year! These last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me as I’ve tried to take advantage of summer break with as much traveling and adventure … Continue reading
Y.E.S. and our “Force For Good” made the local Chinatown newspaper. I’m so proud of the teens involved with this major project, they deserve the publicity.
My own special getaway in New England.
My studio is a secret sanctuary unlike any other, bestowed to me by my grandparents for my graduation from university. It’s a great space to escape the city and reflect on my busy life. With a view like this you can understand how it’s become my creative nexus and where I prefer to paint.
Do you tweet? If so, follow me on Twitter, @SWartStudio! I tweet regularly about art related events in the Boston area, my work, classes, love of music, and comic books, plus whatever else inspires me. Views are strictly my own and retweets are not endorsements.
The Y.E.S. crew and I are finally ready to unveil our installation with a message of empowering beyond racism!
My fondest memories with my dad are of our bi-weekly trips to the comic book store in the late ’80s through the ’90s. Early in my childhood I would read Dad’s old DC and Marvel comics over and over, but I loved using my allowance to purchase comics of my own. My love of comic books initially inspired me to draw, later paint, enroll in art school and study abroad, and eventually become an art teacher. Thanks, Dad!
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads who deserve to celebrate!

Saying goodbye is never easy to do, not when you’ve shared such success with amazing students, both talented, lively, and eager to learn. But, unfortunately, weeks ago I notified the education department of the New Art Center that I would be leaving the NAC at the end of the current term. I’ve needed a change for a few months and I think focusing more on my art and social work is where my heart lies. I still plan on teaching a class or two open to the public in the future, but possibly closer to my home in Boston. I cannot thank enough the wonderful support youth, adults, and families have shown me as both an educator and teen program coordinator. I’m also grateful to the center for allowing me to teach so many fun art-related courses this past year. It’s been a blast!
I was lucky enough to be invited to the grand opening of the new Davio’s Cucina and Showcase Cinema de Lux in Chestnut Hill, just outside Boston. Amazing food and a terrific viewing experience makes the short drive all the … Continue reading
