of the latest technology
available, combines his
skills and understanding
with an abiding
appreciation and in-depth
knowledge of art history

Fellow Corel Painter Master Heather is wonderful artist and teacher. Ive had the
pleasure of seeing Heather painting and teaching. I can attest from first hand
experience to her great combination of both artistic and technical skills, plus energy
and enthusiasm, all of which makes her a great speaker and teacher. Heather is
passionate about art and people. She explores painting in the traditional as well
as digital world. She communicates clearly and is patient and encouraging of her
students. She knows Painter very deeply and is always open to learning and growing qualities that enhance what she has to offer as a teacher.
I highly recommend Heather as a speaker as well as a Painter instructor.

LOIS STANFIELD
Lois Stanfield grew up
loving animals. If childhood
holds the blueprint for ones
destiny in life, then it was
obvious what she would
grow up to be. At the young
age of 4 while growing up
in Bellerose, NY, she was
already drawing pictures
of horses and dogs on
whatever media she could
findpaper, sea shells or
whateverand selling them
to a kindly neighbor woman
down the street for a nickel
or a glass of milk with a
cookie or two.

Marilyn Sholin
After 25 years as a
professional portrait
photographer with a
successful 2600 sq foot
studio in the competitive
Miami, Florida market,
Marilyn added to her
portrait career and directed
her creative juices toward
fine art digital painting
and then took it further by
painting on the canvas
creating mixed media. Her
original and spontaneous
art immediately became
a hit with collectors and
commissioned pieces of art.
Her portrait clients enjoy
having original paintings of
their families.
Utilizing the combination
of Adobe Photoshop CS6
and Corel Painter 12 lets
Marilyn create beyond her
imagination remarkable
pieces of art and portraits.
Marilyns art has been
published, and articles
about her work have been
featured in magazines,
