This past summer, IDEA instructor and established painter-illustrator Jeff Burgess mentored 4 IDEA students in his studio: on Mondays, Lilian Leung and Brendan Walsh, and on Thursdays Jeremy Browns and Tony Yu.

On a recent Saturday afternoon, Jeff hosted a one-day exhibition for the quartet to unveil what they’ve been working on. There were refreshments, the burble of a garden fountain, refracted sunlight lighting the work to fine effect, and considerable interest – not least in the form of sales.
