This summer, we’re thrilled to welcome two powerhouse artists to the Atelier at Arlene’s teaching roster—each bringing their own unique energy, expertise, and artistic voice to our community. Whether you’re drawn to the luminous layers of encaustic painting or eager to dive into the world of solvent-free oils, these new instructors are here to inspire, guide, and spark your creativity.
🔥 Regina B Quinn: Encaustic Explorer & Nature Whisperer
If you’ve ever been mesmerized by the glow of wax, the texture of layered pigment, or the quiet poetry of nature, you’ll want to meet Regina B Quinn. A master of encaustic painting, Regina brings decades of experience across disciplines—from photography and ceramics to theatrical set design. Now based in the Northern Catskills, she’s the current President of International Encaustic Artists and a board member at the Woodstock Art Association & Museum.
Regina’s work is a dance between abstraction and naturalism, inspired by the shifting seasons and quiet drama of the forest floor. Her paintings are rich with texture, transparency, and mystery—scraped, scratched, and layered to reveal hidden depths.

From plein air landscapes to large-scale murals, Rachael Duchnycz brings a bold, contemporary voice to traditional techniques.

With a background in figurative art, gouache, and oil painting, Rachael’s teaching style is approachable, encouraging, and rooted in real-world experience. She’s passionate about helping students find their own visual language—whether they’re just starting out or returning to the easel after years away.
