Imagine stepping into a still forest — the only sound is the gentle flow of a creek, its waters whispering over smooth pebbles and ice-edged banks.
Above, the sky is ablaze with the dying light of the sun, casting a warm glow that sets the snow-touched treetops aflame with hues of gold and amber.
Around you, the trees stand tall and silent, their branches heavy with the weight of snow like a series of white-capped sentinels guarding the serenity of this secluded spot.
Prepare for the ultimate escape into creativity...
...an experience that will propel your pastel painting abilities to unprecedented heights.
Pastel artist extraordinaire Aaron Schuerr welcomes you to a magical journey into a winter wonderland…

As an actor, Aaron relates his artistic experience to the Bertolt Brecht play, 'Life of Galileo,' where the audience is constantly reminded that they are watching a play, becoming active participants in the theatrical experience. Aaron says this is akin to his pastels; he wants them to evoke the place and mood of the scene, yet he doesn't want viewers to forget they are looking at a painting.
