About Us
Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio (formerly Fall City Fine Art Studio) is located in on Whidbey Island in Langley, Washington. We are dedicated to providing education in high quality representational art for artists at every level. In a pleasant and well equipped environment, we offer classes and workshops led by nationally recognized instructors/artists.
WIFAS offers drawing and painting from the still life, figure and landscape - studio and plein air. Our classes and workshops are small and intimate, allowing for more individual attention and a personalized approach. We will have a shuttle to pick up students from the ferry in Clinton, if needed.
WIFAS is located in the quaint seaside village of Langley on the largest island in the Puget Sound--Whidbey Island--close to spectacular landscapes, coastlines, farms and other viewpoints that provide inspiration. It is rich with art and culture and a beautiful rural landscape for creative inspiration. Many people who come to Whidbey say there is an energy about the place that is compelling. It is a place that draws you in and makes you never want to leave. WIFAS has a quiet and peaceful location that is stimulating for the fine artist and surrounding areas that are perfect for plein air painting. The instructors are top professionals and there are many comfortable accommodations available nearby.
Cary Loopuyt Jurriaans is the owner of WIFAS. In 2006, she started the Fall City Fine Art Studio (Now WIFAS) in Washington. It was relocated to Langley, Whidbey Island in 2009
