Artists are born, but technique is learned.

Kate Wood has instructed beginning, intermediate and advanced students for twenty-five years – with hundreds of thankful students. She specializes in Great Masters’ techniques, including realistic lighting and shading; brush finesse; the grid method; advanced color mixing; and more. She’s proficient in oils, acrylics, and watercolors.

Kate is a hands-on instructor, but her students work at their own pace and paint their own subjects. Kate is also a master art conservator at Alchemy Fine Art Restorers, as well as the proud friend of an art-loving Yorkshire Terrier named Finnegan.

Award Winning Results

Over the last decade, her students have won international contests, sold countless paintings, and gotten into exclusive gallery shows. That’s why so many students continue taking her class year after year – and why space has always been at a premium.

Kate’s students have frequently been selected for inclusion in the Helping People Succed’s  Art for Living Calendar, as well as the annual All-Florida Juried Art Show sponsored by Martin Arts. Numerous other students have been featured in solo shows at private galleries.

In 2011, the talented Jonna Polsky won third prize in a contest sponsored by the renowned magazine International Artist. In January 2016, the TCPalm News featured another of Kate’s students, 97-year-old Verna Fenelon, in a profile piece.
