Our Members
Lamontez Jackson
Washington, DC Region
Lamontez Jackson had been drawing since he was 13 years old and in Jr. High School. He began doing nudes when he was 16, first female but later did black males exclusively. He passed on October 2011 and is an honorary permanent member.
Don Libretta
Washington, DC Region
Don has painted nautical scenes most of his life but recently began figure drawing in order to add people to his marine paintings. Now, having come to enjoy figure drawing as much as marine painting, he divides his time equally between the two disciplines.
Fred Limbach
Washington, DC Region
Fred makes paintings of things that don’t exist and makes photos of things that do. He makes paintings from photographs and makes photographs that look like paintings.
Linda Lowery
Washington, DC Region
Linda received a BFA from Ohio Wes-leyan, MFA from George Washington U and studied under Thomas Downing at the Corcoran. She has recently returned to figure drawing, an early love, and is a regular at the Figure Models Guild.
Virginia Mahoney
Washington, DC Region
I am renewing a commitment to art made long ago. I¹ve always loved drawing and the incredible world of color that exists within the limitations of black, white, and gray.
Kevin Mellame
Washington, DC Region
My magazine drawings are a visual procreative process where two independent images are superimposed, and the interplay produces a third image which has the appearance of the original, yet has a spirit of its own.
Dick Swartz
Washington, DC Region
Dick has been a commercial artist all his life and only recently has de-voted full time to fine art and teach-ing. He finds beauty everywhere but especially loves to draw the figure in all its complexities.
Richard Takeuchi
Washington, DC Region
Richard studied at several art schools in the area for more than 15 years. He further developed his skills by attending open sessions and by spending countless hours in his studio. His work was almost exclusively from the nude female figure. He passed on May 2007 and is an honorary permanent member.

The act of creation is an act of faith. My best art happens when I surrender to the creative process and let my art make itself.
