From this grounded space, you’ll be introduced to one of the most overlooked yet essential skills in visual art: composition and thumbnail sketching.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Stefan Lucas Allen
Stefan Lucas Allen was born in San Diego, California in 1997, and at the age of three he moved to upstate New York, where he continues to live today. Drawing, painting, and meditation have always been among his highest priorities. A lifelong seeker of spiritual truth, this pursuit has remained the driving force behind all of his work and way of being. His childhood was spent filling sketchbooks, daydreaming, and closely observing nature. During his teenage years, he developed an interest in psychedelics, lucid dreaming, and meditation, channeling these explorations into artistic expression through pencils and paintbrushes.
Stefan attended a few semesters at the Maryland Institute College of Art, an experience that eventually led him to the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art (VAVA), where he studied for five years in Vienna, Austria. During this time, he became deeply immersed in both the long-standing traditions of Viennese art and the dynamic teachings of Visionary Artist mentors at VAVA. He later became an integral part of the VAVA community, serving as studio monitor and figure drawing instructor. Beyond VAVA, Stefan pursued a dedicated study of the Kriya Jyoti Tantric Yoga lineage, particularly the Cobra Breath technique. This practice initiated a profound spiritual transformation, shifting him from being a spiritual seeker to a spiritual finder, and it continues to be a central aspect of his life as both an artist and individual.
Currently, Stefan lives a simple life in Bloomfield, NY with his beloved, Alexandra, their cat Rowley, and their daughter Kynareth. His time is devoted to painting, meditation, and teaching both art and Kriya Yoga.
