    About the teachers:

    Brett Andrus is a Savannah College of Art and Design graduate and a co-owner of The Modbo and S.P.Q.R. Having shown along both the Front Range and the East Coast, he is now an active member of The Modbo Collective and has a solo show in May. Andrus curates both The Modbo and S.P.Q.R. as well as several satellite restaurants and bars in the Colorado Springs area. He has been teaching drawing and painting classes out of The Modbo for nearly two years.

    Phil Lear is a graduate of Pensacola Christian College’s Commercial Art Program, where he studied for four years under established illustrators and designers. Upon graduating, Lear moved to Switzerland for a time and illustrated for missionaries. Returning to America in 1999, Lear has been in the realm of professional painters ever since. He prefers to work with a warm, limited palette, using subdued colors to bring a calm and natural mood to the canvas.
