Changing Lives Through Art

Discover What Our Rising Artists Are Saying About AU Membership:

"Well it sure is a good thing I found a great teacher whose art I admire. Thanks Jed for following your acrylic medium interest and becoming amazing at the art AND at the art of teaching it too. Stay on your path… it’s helping so many of us. - Joanne P.

"If I Could Start Over"
"If I could start my whole painting experiment over again, your video is the very first thing I would have wanted to watch. It is actually quite life-changing... I would recommend that every beginning painter never even pick up a paintbrush or go to the store to buy paint until they watch your videos. I have learned so much and I’m only through the first module.
Thank you again!"

- Linda N.
