Please welcome artist/ instructor Charles Y. Walls

Charles Young Walls has been an artist all of his life, and art has always been in the forefront of his pursuits. He completed a BFA from Arizona State University after which, following years of artistic struggle, he found the training he was looking for. He studied art at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League, both in New York City, under the tutelage of various teachers. At the League he studied primarily with Peter Cox and has continued his development through the workshops offered by David Leffel.

Pris has been active in the art world in one form or another over the past 26 years and holds a degree in graphic design with high concentration on architectural renderings and logo design. She has been painting professionally the past 18 years.
