Hunter Valley Art is based at the historic Branxton Inn Arthouse overlooking the picturesque vistas of rural life and rolling hills. Classes also run from Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Cessnock School of Arts and at other venues by arrangement.

Owned and run by artist and teacher, Stephen James, Hunter Valley Art offers a very different, supportive and very effective approach to art and creativity. Read what a student thinks...

Read the latest article on Steve and his work in the Autumn 2012 edition of Hunter Valley Breat Magazine:

Music, movement and fun are central to Steve's teaching, producing a rewarding art experience for artists and non-artists alike.

The result is an accelerated learning of art skills and an often euphoric experience of personal creativity.

These are not your average stodgey art classes.

"My role as a teacher is to help students find their individual creative style and interests, to help them master skills to express themselves visually, to nuture imagination and to teach creative thinking.Every person is an individual... there is no "one size fits all" teaching in my classes. Learning happens most when its relaxed and enjoyable". Stephen James, artist and teacher

Art classes and art workshops are equally suitable for beginners, experienced artists or those just seeking a different, rewarding art holiday experience. Steve's unique approach to art teaching will give you a new perspective on how you think about art.
