Anne Saitzyk

NEW INSTRUCTOR! Anne Saitzyk has been teaching painting and drawing for nearly 30 years, mostly at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design Extension, as well as Otis College of Art and Design and Barnsdall Art Center, with some workshops across the United States and internationally. She received her MFA in painting from Claremont Graduate University and a BFA in illustration from ArtCenter College of Design. In Anne’s teaching, exercises and references to art history as well as contemporary work are meant to educate students in the foundations of art and inspire us to move beyond our habitual approaches and take a creative leap. She co-founded Contemplative Creativity Lab, a monthly gathering of artists exploring the meditative mind through art practices that was active for 10 years. She’s been teaching her classes online for the past few years and perhaps surprisingly, it’s been very effective in deepening participants’ artistic skills and maintaining a community of artist-students.

For the Spring 2026 Session, Anne is teaching the following class:

• 100. Still-Life Painting, Fast and Slow (Online) (Online via Zoom)
