Meet Our Special Guest Panelists
CORNELIA HERNES
Cornelia was born and raised in Norway and from the onset of her oil painting pursuits in her late teens, she was particularly interested in rendering the human form and emotive expressions through portraiture and mythological motifs. During the course of her artistic and academic training she further developed a deep affection for the genres of still life, interiors and nature motifs. 

Cornelia achieved a Bachelors of Fine Arts with Distinction from The University of Victoria, BC, Canada in 2003. Following her BFA degree, she pursued a classical realist training at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy. She was a principal instructor at the Florence academy of art from 2007-2020. In 2018 Cornelia transitioned to online teaching and she now works with students across the globe with painting tutorials and online teaching.

STEPHEN BAUMAN
Stephen Bauman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1980, and his family soon after that relocated to Miami, Florida, where he followed his older brother into the world of graffiti. His early exposure to this art — the constant presence of paints and sketchbooks in his childhood home and frequent trips to local walls and warehouses — provided the younger Bauman with a strong foundation of the basics of design and drawing. 

But it was the years he spent from 2003 to 2009 studying and later teaching in Italy that enabled him to make a tremendous leap as an artist. His instructors taught him to look at the human figure, to see beauty in its proportions — to not, for example, draw the eyes and nose as distinct elements of the face, but to study the structures and anatomy of the head and to draw the “atmosphere” around the model. They taught him to see all over again.
