About the Artist
Carla Jean Cebrelli is a Fine Art Graduate of Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut. Her studies then continued under the direction of world renowned mixed media artist and instructor, John Massimino. Carla relocated to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984, to pursue her dual passions: horses and art, and over the years she has established a reputation of excellence in both fields. She has ridden and shown Arabian and Quarter horses, and currently shares her artistic skills through teaching "method art" drawing, composition, and color theory in individual and group sessions. Since childhood, her passion for life and all creatures of the earth has inspired her interest in portraiture, equine, and wildlife paintings. She has an uncanny ability to capture their unique personality and spirit. “When you create from the soul, the result is an extraordinary expression of life.” Carla’s custom paintings and pet portraits adorn the walls of many private and public collectors in Arizona, New Mexico, California and across the North East coast. Her work has been exhibited at the Phippen Museum’s Western Art Show, the Sun Dome Exhibit, John Strong Gallery and Trailside Gallery, Jackson Hole Wyoming. She has been a featured artist in the Arizona Republic, the Sonoran News, Desert Advocate, Carefree Enterprise Magazine, several Phoenix Home and Garden Magazines, and Essential Southwest publications. Today, she balances her time between teaching classes in drawing and painting, creating commissioned work, and riding instruction. But her greatest reward comes from watching her students express themselves and improve their skills and self confidence.

My Philosophy on Teaching
While attending Paier College, I realized just how much I didn't know about art. But that changed after graduating in Fine Arts three years later, and I focused on portraiture, equine art, wildlife, and custom paintings.
I then honed my own methods of teaching from what I've learned, and from what I've experienced using various mediums over the years. It has empowered me to help so many with their desire to draw and paint, and do it well!
Everyone hears and sees things differently and I believe an instructor needs to be able to find ways to communicate to each individual student.
I love to see my students feeling great about their art, about themselves, and about all they've been able to accomplish. It's all so rewarding.
I love to teach. "It's not magic, it's knowledge!"
Graphite pencil drawing class is a comprehensive, fun class that teaches students to draw in an easy to follow format. Drawing is a skill, and anyone given the right instruction can learn to draw, and draw well. The most common reaction I get when telling people this, is "Not with me, I can't draw a straight line" (while rolling their eyes back into their heads).
Most of my students have had no prior experience or instruction in art and I am always happy to say that they are all pleasantly surprised at what they have accomplished after just a few classes. In some cases, after only one class.
So to all of you who are convinced that you just can't draw, give me a few hours of your time. The payoff is grand, and you will feel great about your accomplishments. Guaranteed!
