Jasper Meadows

Jasper has been studying drawing and painting for over 10 years and has experience with a wide variety of both traditional and digital mediums. As an artist, Jasper specializes in drawing and painting the human figure. He is a lover of fantasy and storytelling, and incorporates both realism and stylization into his work, drawing inspiration from artists such as Sargent, Frazetta, Mucha, and Leyendecker.

As a teacher, Jasper is patient and encouraging. He has taught people of all ages, from children as young as four, to adults over 70. His goal is to help the student develop a keen understanding of the fundaments of successful drawing and painting, and to teach them how to see the world through an artists’ eye.

Successful drawing and painting is both an art and a science; creativity, storytelling, emotion, composition, and gesture are most effective when paired with an understanding of color and light, perspective, and form. To best tell our story through visual means, we must seek to understand both sides of the process.

Deepa Menon has been painting ever since she was a child. She has developed painting skills from a broad spectrum of instructors. Her keen sense of observation and her background in Indian classical dance and music have further embellished her creativity and skills, as evidenced in her artwork. Deepa has held exhibitions in India under the auspices of various galleries and other locations. Deepa graduated in Graphic Design from George Brown College in Toronto, Canada, where she got the basics of the human form and design. She Graduated in MFA in Contemporary Painting from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco.

“I've enjoyed taking classes at Netra Art School. It was such a fun atmosphere and Deepa the instructor and owner of Netra was unbelievably creative and very personable. All her students were able to create their own amazing paintings and drawings of their choice, as she directed them into unleashing their own creativity and talents. Quite an exceptional class with such brilliant instructor!”
