About

Art Ladders: The Creative Climb is a multi-faceted artist hub founded by artists Valerie Allen and Armin Mersmann,

At the center of the Art Ladders concept is a podcast that features discussion on topics that are relevant to artists and art lovers. Online classes as well as in-person workshops, complete the circle with a rolling schedule either virtually or at venues.

Artists Valerie Allen and Armin Mersmann invite you to join them in their studio discussions about art and the creative process on Art Ladders: The Creative Climb. Each artist brings a unique perspective to the podcast. Valerie, an abstract painter and Armin, a draughtsman working in realism compare and contrast topics on art that will help guide artists as they climb the ladders of art one rung at a time.

Both artists have schedules as teachers and lecturers on art. Armin teaches via Zoom on topics such as critique, drawing and iPhoneography. Valerie is a working artist for Golden Artist Colors and gives workshops and classes throughout the Midwest.
