Drew and Maria Brophy had a dream:  To inspire your imagination by making art easy and fun for everyone.

They began this adventure over 20 years ago, traveling and painting with locals in small towns all over the world.

They discovered that art can change a life; when someone is given the right tools and techniques, regardless of natural talent, that person can become an artist.  

Together they founded Brophy Art Academy, an online community that fosters art, confidence and encouragement.

The Brophys believe that art should be accessible to everyone, not just those born with an innate gift for it.  

Maria loves to help artists see their potential and help them reach it.  

Together, Drew and Maria’s Mission is to Inspire Your Imagination by teaching fun and easy to learn art techniques and by making life easier for artists.
