Private lessons range from $25 per hour-$40 per hour depending on the materials and preparation I will need to run the session.

Groups can range from students who have special needs, to students who have a shared artistic interest. Whatever your vision, I can make it happen. I am always open to ideas. I would work out a group rate ranging from $15-$20 er hour per student depending on materials and preparation. Please e-mail or call me at (631) 943-6760 if you would like a free consultation or to schedule an appointment.

Collaborative Work by Students, May 24 – August 26
Collaborative work by the students of the Vocational Independence Program and NYIT's Departments of Architecture and Fine Arts
May 24 – August 26, 2011Monday-Saturday9 a.m. - 6 p.m.

In Unison, students came together and mapped out each and every detail of the collaborative works on display. Each mural began with a theme and evolved into a journey: A journey of sharing space, sharing ideas and sharing joy.

Michelle Posner-Stylianou, art educator with NYIT's Vocational Independence program, chose the theme of murals for her students beacuse of the challenges involved. Students had to learn how to work together and leave their ego's behind. The "journey" was the learning involved when faced with the challenges of working with a group.

Gallery exhibitions for emerging artists open

Wednesday March 2, 2011 2:14 PM By Lauren R. Harrison

A spring awakening is on the horizon in a few weeks, where snow melts away and flowers start to bloom. Perhaps ushering us into those idyllic days are local emerging artists, showcasing their work in two gallery exhibitions that open this week.

Colors explode through loud and energetic works in an exhibition titled “Rhythm and Noise! New Explorations in Color and Form,” which opens Thursday at ART (that matters) – an arts collective that offers support and guidance to up-and-coming local artists – in Oyster Bay.

Works by 10 emerging artists range across various mediums such as oil paintings on canvas and board, works in paper and mixed-media. The artists include Caitlin Golden, Rebecca Miller, Sonia Vera-Leon, Lisa Di Stefano, Anna Pickens, John Stack, Jeff Slack, Stelios, Michelle Posner and Haley Hefetz.

The show, curated by Hefetz, who is also a painter, will be on view through March 25 and is part of the Oyster Bay Art Walk that is held every first Thursday of the month.

“It gives emerging and local artists a chance and provides the platform through which their work can be seen by a wider audience,” Hefetz said via e-mail.

Yoga-painting class in Setauket

Get your chakras and creative juices flowing during a yoga and spontaneous painting class Saturday at Yoga for Life in Setauket.
No, you won’t be painting and posing at the same time, says Michelle Posner, an art teacher and painter who helped organize the class. But, she says, you’ll “leave with a bit more self-awareness.”

The two-hour class is divided into three, 40-minute parts – yoga, meditation and painting. It’s open to both beginner painters and yoga practitioners. All materials – yoga mats, acrylic paints, paint brushes and painting board will be covered in the $30 instruction fee.
To start, participants get into Hatha style yoga poses based on opening the chakras – energy centers of the body – says Joy Ruben, a yoga instructor and friend of Posner who also organized the class.

“You hold certain poses – mountain pose, tree pose, warrior poses, downward facing dog and so on,” Ruben, 25, of Miller Place said. “The biggest goal is connection in a deeper self . . . so that people can come into their body and connect with what is happening in their world.”
Next, comes guided meditation, which also aims to open chakras. Chakras start at the lower torso and work their way up to your head, Posner, 27, of Port Jefferson, says.
“Each level, as it goes up, turns into a different color. It kind of looks like a rainbow,” Posner says. “During the meditation the participants' eyes are closed, but I'm going to have them envision all sorts of colors.”

The most vivid meditation will serve as the inspiration for the spontaneous painting, she says. After meditating cross-legged on a yoga mat, participants will lean over their painting boards on the floor to paint.

“I don’t like to give too much instruction on what to paint. I encourage people to paint from their heart,” Posner says.

Following the painting period, students can share what they painted with the group. Light refreshments of food and drink will also be served, says Ruben.
While this is the first time the pair has created a yoga and spontaneous painting class, both hope to offer it in the future.

“I think everyone has a source to tap into when it comes to doing an artistic expression – whether cooking, painting or anything else,” Ruben says. “Movement and the breath of yoga practice helps to clear a pathway to that source.”

Yoga and Spontaneous PaintingWhen Where: 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 18), Yoga For Life, 190-1 Belle Meade Rd., Setauket.Info: 631-941-9642, yogaforlifeohm.comCost: $30, includes materials, instruction and refreshments

FALLING INTO PLACE

New Collaborations By Michelle Posner & Stelios

Opening Reception Thursday, October 1st From 7pm-11pm

at Toast CoffeeHouse

242 E Main St Port Jefferson, NY

With 2 beers and 1 sketchbook, alone or surrounded by friends, Stelios and Michelle pass the book and pen. They draw and giggle and remain on their own bizarre wavelength. Over the past year this bird-mouse and chipmunk-squirrel have filled their sketchbooks with drawings and paintings of each other and their relationship to the world. Whether it was the time, the right place or alignment of the stars; they came together one year ago. The work on these walls is the record of the good times they spent looking into each other’s eyes. Join us on Thursday, October first for the opening reception of their year-long journey as their lives together fall into place.
