Tasty Tuesday! 🍊🍋🟢🍎❤️ Our Middle Schoolers created these vibrant fruit studies in oil pastel—a lesson in looking closely, layering color, and practicing patience. These students are always reaching new heights! A new session of our Tuesday Middle School class begins 11/10. Come join us!

🍎 Artist Spotlight: Riley Simmons

It’s apple season, and we’re celebrating the beautiful artwork of Riley Simmons, a sixth-grade student at William Annin Middle School in Basking Ridge.

One of the most valuable tools Riley brings to every art class isn’t found in her art supplies — it’s her patience. Her thoughtful approach and attention to detail shine through in this stunning oil pastel piece.

A special thank you to thebakernj & Barrister Coffee House for giving our young artists the opportunity to share their creativity with the community!

Stop by to admire Riley’s artwork while treating yourself to a fabulous cup of coffee and some of their delicious baked goods! ☕🥐

THIS IS ME. ❤️

Eight artists. Eight completely different interpretations. Each one unmistakably their own.

I am so incredibly proud of my middle school artists and the work they created through this process.

These neurographic-inspired self-portraits became so much more than an exploration of line, color, and pattern. As the students allowed their lines to travel, intersect, and evolve, their portraits gradually emerged. There was no single “right” outcome—the process was about making choices, responding to what was happening on the page, and allowing their own visual voices to take over.

What I loved most was watching how much they embraced the process. They experimented, took risks, made unexpected discoveries, and truly made the work their own.

And they genuinely loved creating them—which made me love this project even more.

So proud of these artists and what they created. ❤️
