WALTER BARTMAN, Founder and Director of the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery
Walt teaches landscape, still life and figure painting classes and workshops, here and abroad. His career spans four decades. He received a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Art History from American University and he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Belgium and Holland. His philosophy of painting centers on personal interpretation and the unique approach to the ordinary. For him, a great painting includes all the arts. He works with all levels of students and challenges them to “see” more.
Walt’s own work is representational in subject, but with an abstract approach to seeing and expressing his thoughts on canvas. He is a colorist and he shares his knowledge with his students.
It is the invisible that needs to be found, the clue is in the visible.

RACHEL COLLINS, Watercolor Instructor
 Watercolor painter Rachel Collins teaches weekend workshops at the Yellow Barn, working with students at all levels of experience. In her own work, she considers herself a realistic painter of nature’s abstract form. Originally trained as a librarian and archivist, she became a full-time painter in the mid-1990's. An interest in natural science illustration has influenced her work in watercolor as fine art, and is reflected in her frequent choice to view her subject up close. She paints regularly in her studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA, has taught watercolor since 1996 in both the U.S. and abroad, and shows her work regularly in local, regional and national exhibits. She has been awarded signature membership in the National Watercolor Society, the Watercolor USA Honor Society, and the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, among others. Outside the visual art world, she plays the bassoon and currently serves as chairman of the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Mount Vernon, Virginia.
God is the most subtle of designers. The artist works to bring something of the excitement of this design and form in the natural world to the attention of all viewers, so that our vision of even the mundane may be changed.

ERIC GARNER, Acrylic Abstract Painting Instructor
Painter Eric Garner teaches both full length courses and weekend workshops in acrylic abstract painting. Eric’s paintings reflect an interest in pictorial systems and patterning, from American quilts, Islamic arts, and African textiles, to infrastructure design conventions. His work is frequently reminiscent of Russian constructivism.
Things aren’t all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life. – Rainer Rilke

I consider myself a perceptual realist. Like poetry, the subject is evident but is transformed into something less tangible and at the same time more complex by virtue of both associations and extractions
Having had the opportunity to work with so many talented artists and faculty has contributed immeasurably to my growth as an artist.

He has won numerous honors for his artwork, including awards from the Portrait Society of America and the Butler Institute of American Art, and his paintings have been exhibited at galleries throughout the country.
Some of Glakas’ more prominent portraits include that of CIA Director George Tenet, which hangs in Georgetown University, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s wife, Landra, which hangs in the U.S. Capitol, and former FCC Chairman Ervin Duggan, which hangs in the Society of the Four Arts Museum in Palm Beach.

Nine years ago, she began with the Yellow Barn teaching still life, portrait and plein air workshops and classes in charcoal, pastel, acrylic, oil and gouache.

Deborah Jaffe
For Deborah Jaffe painting is both a personal and shared journey. “We are all artists, we all have something to express to the world with our unique voice and our gifts,” she says. Avidly drawing and painting since she was a child growing up in Moscow, China and Washington, D.C., Deborah brings a global perspective that encourages the artistic talents inherent in the human soul.
She majored in painting and drawing at Carnegie Mellon University and Parsons Paris School of Art and Design. Her approach to painting is inspired by her work as a photographer. She moved to New York city in 1988 to work as a photographer and has been shooting ever since. While working as a photographer shooting portraits, celebrity, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, still life and interiors for Elle, Glamour, In Style, Martha Stewart and Real Simple among others, she also studied and practiced painting and drawing at the NY & DC Studio Schools and the Art Students League of NY. In 2002 she moved to the Hollywood Hills and continued painting, drawing and shooting.
She recently returned to Washington DC and reconnected with Walter Bartman, her high school art teacher and Yellow Barn Founder and Director. He suggested she teach what she learned over the years at the Yellow Barn.
Deborah finds inspiration everywhere she looks, and it is that perspective she most enjoys sharing with new students and long-time friends. Among the artists that inspire her are Hockney, Carravagio, Diebenkorn, Motherwell, Rothko, Elizabeth Peyton, Lucien Freud and Eric Fischl.

Maureen Ward
Maureen Ward began her art forays in her teens, with pen and ink drawings. She studied oil painting on and off for the last twenty years with Soviet-trained artist Otari Shiuk, and more recently with Walt Bartman, Jack Boul, Maggie Siner, Carolyn Anderson, Natasha Karpinskaia, Glen Kessler, and Jordan Bruns. A notorious techie, she experimented some years ago with the Corel Draw/Wacom Tablet & Pen system and has been drawing and painting for several years with her iPhone, iPad and apps such as ArtRage, SketchbookPro, Brushes and Zen Brush. She has designed a series of workshops and classes to teach the fundamentals of making art on an iPad. As I have gained more experience making images, I have concluded that all means of making art are wonderful (including the iPad). The beauty of our world can be cherished and celebrated in innumerable ways and I will love to show you a small piece of a happenin' scene.

GONZALO RUIZ NAVARRO
Gonzalo Ruiz Navarro received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Valencia, in his native Spain and followed courses at many prestigious schools, including the University of Toledo, the University of Alcala de Henares, the Foundation of Contemporary Art and Artists and the Taller del Prado Academy.
He has been working as a professional artist and art instructor for more than 16 years helping students of all ages and levels to build solid artistic foundations and discover their unique creativity.
Gonzalo’s works have been exhibited in numerous venues throughout Europe and the U.S. He has received several awards and has been featured in the New York Times, Metro Latino News and Fine Art Views. He is also Art Committee Chair at the International Monetary Fund.
I believe that intuition and feelings are paramount to art but that academic instruction is the key of your artistic education. I show clear concepts that apply to all and foremost I give you highly individualized advice that applies to you. I think that working from life should be the daily diet of a representational artist but I also teach you how to work from photos and memory to get the most of every source.

Gita Mirshahi
Gita Mirshahi earned her BFA in drawing & sculpture from Trinity college and her MFA from George Washington University.
She works in a wide range of two and three dimensional media - from drawing to print making and painting, to creating sculpture, ceramics or jewelry.
Gita has focused of late on spontaneous, free flowing, vibrant paintings, which, though based on the physical world are near calligraphic abstractions. Each painting reflects her own personal brand of 'automatic' rhythms & shapes.
She has taught many disciplines and her hallmark is helping the student develop their own vision and techniques.
My joy in making art is launching in to uncharted waters, looking for the unexpected approach to the world around us & with in . This means taking risks, investing yourself in the process of discovery, and watching your subject reveal it self.
See yourself in different light as you learn to paint with no inhibitions, under Gita's generous tutelage.
