Art, Teaching, and Practice

Welcome.

I’m Anastasiya Baron, a visual artist and art instructor based in New Jersey, with over fifteen years of experience teaching drawing and painting.

My work and teaching are rooted in strong artistic foundations, an understanding of legacy, careful observation, and hands-on practice with room for experimentation. I believe meaningful work comes from learning how to connect honestly to what you make, rather than relying on surface or imitation. In addition to teaching, I work as a mentor, offering guidance to aspiring artists and anyone interested in pursuing art with seriousness and intent.

This space brings together my personal artwork, student work, and an ongoing commitment to making art that carries weight, power, and meaning.
