Jeffrey T Larson

…was born in 1962 in Two Harbors, Minnesota and grew up in the Twin Cities. Jeffrey has been trained in the manner of the Old Masters at the prestigious Atelier Lack, a studio/school whose traditions and training methods reach back through impressionism and the 19th centuries French academies. He followed his four-year formal training with museum study in the United States and abroad.
Brock Larson
co-founder / instructor
…(b. 1991) first began drawing at a very early age under the guidance of his father, Jeffrey T. Larson as well as his grandfather, Marvin Espe. He started his approach to academic practice in high school with Charles Bargue plates, master copies, and cast drawings before moving to Minneapolis to pursue a formal education at the Atelier Program of Fine Art, where he studied full time for five years alongside attending workshops.
Patrick Glander

…is a recent graduate of GLAFA and is now an assistant instructor at the school. He is a believer that a painter is eternally a student of nature and of the great artists of the past. He hopes to extend this reverence to students, guiding their learning. He is represented by Collins Galleries.
