C2C Art Projects is making it possible for anyone to learn from our treasure trove of resources and courses.
C2C Art Projects was formed by friends and colleagues Lisa Pressman and Sue Stover.
A coast-to-coast enterprise that encompasses their online, destination, and in-person courses as well as an active online resource and community center. We enjoy teaching together as our backgrounds compliment each other and we try to balance the serious practice of art with some humor and fun. We are always looking for ways to connect and collaborate (more C2C, get it?) with other artists and are adding to our roster of instructors.
The C2C Art Collective is an active resource center for art enthusiasts designed to inspire.
When we realized that we had a treasure trove of resources that we use in our classes to illustrate concepts, we wanted to offer it at a low cost for students and other artists. The idea is all about community and conversation (more C2C, lol). Engaging in discussions is what we love, and providing a safe, supportive environment in which to do so.

Joanna Kidney
Associate Instructor
Joanna Kidney is an Irish visual artist. Her practice is a practice of sense making, a web of interrelated ideas around how complex and tiny our lives are within the vast universe. It is an enquiry of the non-material, that which is not visible and concrete. Concerned with the holistic, temporal and interconnected aspects of being human, the work offers open, poetic prompts towards these ideas. Using a language of abstraction, her work is an enquiry of the mark and the line through drawing, painting and physical space...
