Abstract artist and teacher

Adele Sypesteyn

As a teacher, I'm here to help you gain confidence and peace in your abstract art practice so you can finally make art that you love and are deeply proud of.

As a career artist with over 40 years of experience, I've been represented by more than 25 galleries nationwide and my art has generated more than $5 million in sales.

When you feel the freedom to let go of the rules and think for yourself you'll gain more confidence with every stroke you make.

It's hard to create exciting meaningful art when you're worried about what others think.


Fearless art is beautiful art

I come from a New Orleans family of artists and have been an abstract painter for over 40 years.

My works have been featured in the collections of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Pahlmeyer Winery, and Shafer Winery, among others. 

My paintings have also be been featured in design magazines, including Southern Home, Veranda, House Beautiful, Seattle Home & Lifestyle, and many others.

Beth Neuhoff 

“I used to be rigid and fearful of making mistakes, but you’ve taught me there are no mistakes. So now, when I think I’ve ‘messed up’ I just laugh and paint over it.”

Jamie Medcafe

“You are exactly the type of instructor I needed. I have never come across someone as affirming and forgiving AND willing to share her art secrets.”
