CHRIS GROVES ART CLASSES
Horton Hayes Fine Art is pleased to announce our schedule of art instruction classes taught by Chris Groves.

A classically trained painter, Groves has studied at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, the Colorado Academy of Art, the Loveland Art Academy, the Cottonwood Art Academy and the Denver Arts Student League. He has also enjoyed a private, two-year mentorship with artist Jay Moore, which he considers a turning point in his artistic career.
