Tetra Cierpke is a professional artist and jewelry maker in Nashville TN, holding a Fine Arts Degree at Belmont University with an emphasis in Oil Painting. She started taking art classes at the age of ten, in a similar style of class that she now teaches, and fell in love with oil painting as well as drawing, pen and ink, and pastels. Tetra spent 6 years teaching jewelry making to dozens of single mothers in Mozambique, and now is offering semi-private art lessons in TN.
Of her class, Tetra shares, “One of my favorite things about oil painting is capturing a moment and being able to get the things that burn inside of me onto a canvas! I want to help artists get stronger by building that foundation of technique/realism so as to let all the creativity that’s inside, come out without feeling limited by technique!”
The focus of the classes are project based, technique driven, semi-realism oil painting for beginners and intermediates in a setting where each student can move at their own pace with one on one instruction from Tetra as well as technique focuses at the beginning of class.
