Your Instructors
Bobbi Cosby
Bobbi has been an artist most of her life and began teaching in 2005 at retail stores, art centres, senior’s centres and her home studio. Her passion is helping people who have always wanted to paint but have not had the opportunity or confidence. Bobbi’s artistic world was expanded by becoming a Ross Certified Instructor in 2007. Since then, she has been teaching all levels of students to discover the joy of creating landscapes and florals using acrylics, oils and the two in combination.

She won the Canadian entry for her painting entitled “DOUBLE TAKE” at the Spanish Miradas International Art Competition 2016, under the pseudonym Laurie Andrews, and again in 2018 for her painting, “AS I SEE IT”, this time entered as Laurie Stein. She has been profiled in various magazines over the years, with the most recent, Muskoka Magazine’s August edition 2022. She is represented by Red Canoe Gallery in Port Carling and The Koyman Galleries in Ottawa. If Laurie isn’t painting on canvases she is digitally illustrating/designing children’s books on her tablet/cintiq. Her book, SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL, Powbooks NY, was given a stellar review by the New York Times, a Heather’s Pick for Best Books for kids 2019 and the coveted Kirkus star, selling worldwide.
