Michael Rossman has served as Professor at the University of Arts and as a lecturer at the Barnes Foundation. His intimate drawings bring the viewer close, allowing one experience both the forces of nature and the elegant movement of graphite on paper. A fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and recipient of the Wintersteen Prize for Drawing, Rossman’s work is included in the collections of the Woodmere Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Julie Saecker Schneider is a Professor and Undergraduate Program Director of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania. Concerned with re-contextualizing myths and the physical description of memory, Schneider works primarily in graphite, creating large, finely-crafted drawings of figures and dead roses, her metaphor for memory.
Stuart Shils, a PAFA alumnus and faculty member, has painted the landscape for over 25 years and his work has been presented in solo shows in Philadelphia, New York, Tel Aviv, Boston, San Francisco and Cork, Ireland. Critical review and commentary has appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Art in America, The New Yorker, American Artist and numerous other publications. Grants and awards include an Independence Foundation Fellowship in the Arts, a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and an Academy Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. An annual visiting critic at the Vermont Studio Center, Shils teaches painting across the country and abroad.
Richard Watson is a painter and Curator of Exhibitions at the African American Museum in Philadelphia and holds a Certificate in Painting from PAFA. His paintings are based on memories and suggested realities. Issues of social politics are presented with fragmented elements of "real life," collaged and collapsed, as in dreams. He is represented by ArtJazz Gallery in Philadelphia.
