ARTroads, a San Francisco educational organization, is about exploring the many paths to creativity.

Pamela Rhodes is a director, instructor and artist. She views each individuals' work of art as an expression and the progress along each creative path as a language, enabling that expression.

Time, passion, energy and focus are the resources we all possess during our brief journey here. We can use these valuable treasures with respect and purpose if we simply allow ourselves to see; to see the world around us, the colors and creations, the values and relationships, the positive and negative, the new, the old and the just invented.

It is the mission of ARTroads to teach anyone willing to see that world to translate their vision. Translation occurs through individual artistic language into an expression of sight and self. We can then all see what each artist sees; what's there in our world. The simple act of drawing, painting, somehow recording what we see grounds us, it engages us, it documents our place, the things and the people in our lives.

ARTroads is determined to provide the tools, technique and inspiration to allow everyone to develop the skills needed to translate what they see into their own art.
