IN THE HISTORIC 3rd FLOOR STUDIO: RICHARD SCHMID’S LEGACY
Premium Experience—Student Workshop with Rose Frantzen and Nancy Guzik Extra Option
Location: Palette & Chisel, 3rd Floor Studio, 1012 N. Dearborn Street

Join two renowned artists as they demonstrate how Richard Schmid and fellow members of the Palette & Chisel painted in the historic 3rd Floor Studio — and how he generously offered guidance and critique to those working alongside him.

Students will paint alongside Nancy Guzik and Rose Frantzen, receiving hands-on instruction and mid-session critiques—continuing the very tradition Richard practiced in that studio. During breaks, participants are encouraged to observe the artists at work, deepening the learning experience through close observation, just as students once did with Richard. Both artists will also share insights, lessons, and personal memories from their time with Richard Schmid.

$75 for Members, $100 for Non-Members.

Nancy Guzik



After graduating from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Nancy continued her studies at the Palette & Chisel Academy and completed her schooling at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Connecticut studying anatomy and sculpture with the late Dean Keller.  Nancy met master artist and author Richard Schmid at the Palette and Chisel Academy, who became her mentor.  Richard helped to develop her innate talents, which opened the doors to the Grand Manner style of painting. (Richard describes the Grand Manner as a certain mingling of virtuosity and unrestrained joy in Art.)  "We would question everything" Nancy states, "ourselves, our paintings and this amazing miracle we are all a part of.  He taught me to identify and understand what I am passionate about and then paint it."

Nancy is widely known for her mastery and originality in still life and people painting.  When asked why she loves to paint children from life, Nancy smiles, “There is something that all children are born with that I connect with. As my painting begins to unfold, the child and I are drawn together into a magical process of creativity. Meeting on this creative level, we journey together into the realm of imagination -- and into the world of art we go.” 

In addition to appearing in noteworthy exhibitions and receiving prestigious awards, her paintings grace both private and public collections, and captivate art lovers worldwide. As one of the directors of the Putney Painters in Vermont, she has helped transform the careers of many aspiring painters. 

Currently Nancy is painting and completing her long anticipated and soon to be published book. She resides in the hills of New England and is living happily ever after with her husband Richard Schmid, their famous cat Zorro, and the new up-and-coming star, Max the cat.
