in oil painting for beginner, intermediate, and experienced students. She
also teaches an oil painting class offered by Midlands Technical

and animals and has sold thousands of paintings throughout the
United States.
Kelli Griffin began studying photography in 1997. Today she
is an award winning fine art photographer and has participated
in juried exhibitions including the State Fair and Piccolo Spoleto. Griffin's
focus is black and white fine art nudes, but she also explores
other fine art images of people and objects. She accepts
commissions for portraits of children, nude portraits including
pregnant mothers, and other photographic work.
Frances Zeitler has studied art throughout her life. She
attended the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and
has worked in media including pencil, colored pencil, watercolor,
and oil paint. She studied watercolor at Midlands Technical
College in the 90s, then began studying oil painting in 2000 with
