"Jan Martin McGuire is not only an extraordinary artist but also an exceptional teacher. The technics she uses in her paintings enable her to seamlessly integrate her subjects into their surroundings in a way that looks natural and yet artistic. Having taken a number of her workshops I would highly recommend her classes to any artist who would like to excel as a wildlife artist.” D. Sindt
"It was a turning point in my career and I would recommend it to any artist who wishes to become more professional both with their camera and with their artwork." Sally Maxwell
"I attended Jan's workshop in September of 2010. The location was absolutely stunning. Minnesota Wildlife Connection created picture perfect scenes using the landscape and animals. Through Jan and James' instruction, knowledge and tips I gained seriously thousands of choice photos to work from. But most important was Jan's instruction on "what, how and why" when working from photos. This alone made the workshop priceless. Her vast knowledge of animals and their environment proved to be another reason I needed her class. I would sum it up as a "no brainer" great location, animals, instruction and a lot of wonderful artists to spend time with. It couldn't have been any better." Debbie Stevens
"Not only did I have tons of fun, I learned so much. I think all beginners and seasoned professionals interested in wildlife art should take this kind of workshop. I learned invaluable camera settings and James was so helpful, my photographs blow me away. Thank you for sharing you talent and skills as an artist. I feel I have learned techniques and standards from the best." Rose Tanner |
