Learn about Commissions "I admire the expression Diana achieves through her energized marks. They animate each painting and really bring them to life. They are very well painted and capture not just an interesting cross between the actual and the abstracted, but really provide a sense of place with quite positive energy.” – Elizabeth Erdreich President at Erdreich White Fine Art, Inc. "Her sense of color and tone rivals that of the Modern Masters. Her compositions flirt with fantasy yet somehow keep two feet planted firmly on the ground." Caroline Cox Fine Art Consultant, Salem, MA "So grounding! All the while the wind is blowing in so many directions and there is such fervor in every day these days - but the center is there holding it all together! Art can give strength. This is proof." Petra Brookline, MA Get to know Diana Bio Founder of the Flow Method, and recipient of Best of Boston award, Diana Stelin is on a mission to reduce Burnout through Creativity - the topic of the Ted talk she presented in March'22. Her pieces are in private and corporate collections nationwide. Diana's life of creative exploration began when she was 13. Her family relocated from Moldova to Bloomfield, New Jersey and she enrolled in an art class. Through her difficult teenage years, she found solace in expressing herself through creating art. Her BFA degree at Cornell University was followed by a MS at Boston University, where she continued to develop a unique free-flowing painting style. After graduation, she managed the world-renowned DTR Modern Galleries. She subsequently founded The Plein-Air Art Academy, and received a Best of Boston Award for kids' art classes. Diana published a highly acclaimed novel about the importance of art for our psyche, and in recent years has presented a TedX talk on using creativity to fight burnout, appeared as a guest on multiple podcasts, wrote a children’s book, founded a clothing line based on her art, and exhibited her work at the 2022 Venice Biennale. She lives in the Boston area but her pieces are in corporate and private collections worldwide, and she uses her expertise in her proprietary flow processes as a consultant in creative corporate workshops and talks. Technique Stelin paints multilayered palette knife landscapes in oil and cold wax, which she partially melts with a heating lamp to dissolve different objects on canvas into one another. The drips are her signature element: the dark ones are emotional strokes that create grids within a painting. The lighter ones are semitransparent, and partially show the layers of paint beneath them. Stelin's technique is a dance between realistic and abstract landscapes, between watercolor and oil techniques. She begins with a watercolor in plein-air. Stelin subsequently translates the drawing to canvas in the same expressive manner adopted for the initial watercolor painting, employing an impasto technique of oils mixed with cold wax. The last and most rewarding part of the process is the melting of wax. It comes as a 4th or 5th layer of the painting. It requires patience, has an element of surprise, yet can be controlled, and it connects various sections of the unique oil on canvas. Because it's a textured layer on top of other layers, it breaks down lines between subjects, and literally melts one state into another. It also creates mini compositions within a painting, so that your eye always wanders around the canvas and catches new nuances hidden within the layers. At the same time Stelin adds in authentic gold leaf to the now abstract landscape, as well as 3-D sculptural elements. Artist Statement "We're but a small speck in this universe" Diana Stelin's artwork is an exploration of humanity's interaction with the natural world - the attitude of overarching control and distancing, the physical space around us and our perception of it. To what extent can we dissolve into our surroundings and co-exist with the natural world? Stelin's artworks appeal to an audience from varied angles. Their initial reaction to the full compositions brings back expressive Van Gogh and Gauguin landscape explorations. Past the initial impression, there's a deeper understanding: a more in-depth look into the interaction of man-made and natural forms. The abstract, Richter-influenced patterns emerge. Stand close enough and you see how Stelin expertly catches that moment when a viewer allows herself/himself to truly melt into the surroundings, and when borders break between the sky and the trees, when the architecture blends beautifully into the natural world.

Marina Korendeld is an artist print maker specializing in etchings.

Recurring Events Mythical Dreams by Marina Korenfeld May 15 - June 30 “The theme of self-introspection is crucial to my art, since I believe that only by delving into the enigmas of the self can an individual truly engage with the world and bring about change in a profound, meaningful way.” Marina Korenfeld's fantastical and surreal etchings plunge the viewer into a dreamworld filled with creatures and wonder. Shop Artwork Winter Getaway by CJ Lori January 10th - March 10th "The desire to have another see through my eyes is a compelling motivation". C. J. Lori is an oil painter living in Brookline, Massachusetts. Her work reflects her interest in literature, anthropology and psychology, as well as an abiding fascination with the natural world. Often called “Neo-surrealism” or “magic realism,” Ms. Lori’s paintings explore the complex relationship between humanity and the environment. She exaggerates or distorts color, form and composition to emphasize sensations that are often contradictory: clarity and mystery, excitement and sorrow, beauty and decay. Shop Artwork Seascapes in Encaustic by Amalia Tagaris October 15 - November 22 “The unexpected often leads to extraordinary results” With deep New England roots and European traditions, Amalia Tagaris works reflects a unique perspective shaped by both worlds. She first encountered encaustic in 2009, blending beeswax, damar resin, and colored pigments with her photograph to create works that are luminous and rich in texture. Over time, her practice evolved to incoportateoil paints, inks, carbon prints and wide range of mixed media Shop Artwork Un bel dí vedremo by Jennifer Jean Okumara Ebruary 16th - April 1st “Nothing is permanent except change” Jennifer Jean Okumura presents her new paintings in an exhibition highlighting how change brings perspective, clarity, and true unconditional love like the Sun.

Shop Artwork Venice and its Fragility by Diana Stelin september 1st - october 15th “To what extent can we dissolve into our surroundings and co-exist with the natural world?” Diana Stelin's technique dances between realistic and abstract landscapes. Utilizing oil paint, wax, and gold leaf, she creates a uniquely three-dimensional and sculptural aspect to her canvases. Through them, you are pulled into a colorfully charged world that welcomes contemplation and exploration. Shop Artwork Delicate Relevations by Linda Perlman APRIL 1st - MAY 14th “The play of light is always a catalyst for my portraits, landscapes, and still lifes and I am engaged by the enigmatic, lyrical, profound, and magical I find lurking below these surfaces” Linda Pearlman Karlsberg presents her recent paintings in a new exhibition highlighting the beauty of our world throughout the year.

    Explore a wide range of art programs including adult classes, kids’ workshops, private lessons, and seasonal creative experiences. Our Programs Book Online Birthday Parties School Partnerships The Plein-Air Art Academy Boston Magazine's Best of Boston® 2016 A boutique creative studio for adults and children who crave depth, calm, and genuine self-expression. We believe creativity is a way back to ourselves — a way to slow down, reconnect, and navigate change with more ease. Our programs blend art history, storytelling, and Diana’s SPARK Method to foster personal growth in a deeply nurturing space. Our programs are anchored by three promises: No Cookie-Cutter Creativity Each class, workshop, and retreat is a unique, process-driven experience. We focus on creative flow rather than perfection, encouraging experimentation, emotional expression, and meaningful breakthroughs. Whether you’re joining a retreat, a corporate workshop, or a kid’s semester class, you’ll always be creating something authentic. A Space That Welcomes & Nourishes Our studio is a haven. Adults come here to breathe again, to disconnect from overwhelm, and to reconnect with themselves. Kids and teens come to feel seen, encouraged, and understood. Every session — from a SPARK retreat to a fourth-grade sculpture class — is grounded in kindness, curiosity, and connection. Art That Sparks Emotion We create and teach art that moves people. Through Diana’s personal practice, custom commissions that capture meaningful moments, and deeply immersive workshops, our community experiences art as something alive — a tool for healing, reflection, and joy. From engaging programs for ages 4+ to transformative adult retreats and corporate workshops, we offer a space where creativity flourishes, calm returns, and art truly transforms. Our Signature Curriculum for Kids This is our Best of Boston program that explores varied themes in the art world and introduces an array of materials to artists of all levels. Our youngest students are exposed to art history stories in the beginning of each class with knowledge tested weekly. Then each week they get introduced to a new material, be it clay, watercolor, tempera paints or collage. They perfect these materials over time, both getting more comfortable with those and learning to develop their imaginations. The last 10-15 minutes of each class is devoted to FREE draw (as soon as we see that our little artists are getting tired, we change up the tasks). Each semester ends with a field trip to an art museum to see artworks en situe. As kids get older, they pay more attention to details and though we vary materials in our curriculum, we're very mindful of every student's unique pace and want them to take their projects to completion. Some projects take one week, others - can take up to three. We use clay, watercolor, tempera paint among other materials. Every semester we study an overarching art history theme that gets subdivided monthly, and each semester ends with a trip to an art museum, to see the artworks in real life. See Programs Our Signature Curriculum for Adults This is a class for a novice or an expert painter. Each semester we study a different artist/movement and experiment with varied techniques within watercolor and oil painting, as well as charcoal, pastels and clay. We begin each semester with sketches in pencil/charcoal/pastel, graduate to watercolor and finish up with at least one oil painting.
