Energetic and enthusiastic, Elsie Dresch advises new students to do
three things. First, join a local art group so you will have friends
and associates with the same interest and get support in your
community. Second, subscribe to two art magazines of your choice
selecting one in the mediums in which you work, and one of general
interest such as Art News or American Art Review.
Third, paint every day or do something directly related to art and
painting, so that you get and remain focused on being serious about
your work.
Elsie Dresch teaches workshops in North Carolina, Florida and
Georgia where she has been living for many years.
Elsie's art education began in Philadelphia at 13, when she studied at
the Graphic Sketch Club then attended the Fleisher Memorial School
