Demonstration Artists Resource Listing

Demonstrations are an integral learning opportunity for LSAG leagues whose meetings often feature demo artists.  The list below is provided as a resource for LSAG leagues in their efforts to find new or favorite demo artists to connect with & feature.

PLEASE NOTE:  Inclusion in this list does NOT indicate an endorsement by LSAG.
It is the responsibility of each league to use this list as a starting point & do their own research which may include seeing a demo by an artist of interest &/or getting feedback from recent clients listed.  
Contact information was updated as of September 2017.

If you do not see a favorite demo artist, please ask him/her to consider submitting their information.  
Details for requirements are found under ADMINISTRATIVE:  Judges & Demo Artists Submissions.
We are NOT allowed to post information on others without their submission which serves as their consent.

Two Listings to Aid You:
Listings are in rough alphabetical order by last name & include up to 3 recent clients for reference provided by the artists, mediums & areas they service, website, contact info, & other professional affiliations to help you in finding a demo artist for your next event.
Look for a specific artist in the section below.

Also names are listed by mediums / other demo areas here for your convenience.  
Check here then look up the artist listing by last name below.

Questions You May Wish to Ask A Potential Demo Artist:
-Do you provide any written materials / information to go along with your presentation that members can take home with them?
-Do you speak during the demo as you progress through the painting and explain why you are doing what you are doing, how to replicate the method, etc.?
-Will you be bringing a series of the piece or different art pieces at different stages of your process to show how it progresses?
