HUE Studio is the working studio of internationally collected artist Jennifer Sabella that is open to learning, creativity and fun. Workshops are designed around my own artistic practice - I want to promote experimentation in the world of abstract art without intimidation. Lessons are given in my bright home studio in the center of Historic Litchfield, where I teach the palette knife technique I use in my own work. The beauty of HUE Studio is that no two works are the same. The end result is completely determined by the artist's imagination and color choices.
