Seminar Leaders
John Howard Sanden is one of the nation's best-known, highest-paid portrait artists. HE has lectured on portrait painting at the Art Students League of New York for twenty-three years. He is the author of four books on portraiture. He was the first recipient of the
John Singer Sargent Medal for Lifetime Achievement from the American Society of Portrait Artists.
Margaret Holland Sargent has long been recognized as one of America's leading portraitists. She has painted presidents, princes, heads of state, members of prominent families, government leaders and celebrated personalities throughout the world. "Her portraits have won acclaim from both subjects and critics. Presidents Ford and Carter, Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher, Dr. Jules C. Stein, General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. and Tennessee Williams have all been captured in likeness and spirit with her fresh, light style of portraiture." (The Gold Book).
Carl Samson is one of the nation's foremost classical realist painters. A student of R. H. Ives Gammell of Boston, he was twice a top winner in the National Portrait Competition conducted by the Portrait Institute. He is Vice Chairman of the Board of Advisors on the American Society of Portrait Artists.
