“Point to point relationships…infinite possibilities. With a firm understanding of Dynamic Symmetry and my use of the Golden Section, gleaned from my studies with Myron at his much lauded Barnstone Studios, this Science/Math of design forms the foundation of my art; bringing me a solid expression of my understanding of creation. Everything is related. Nothing is arbitrary.”
— Gwendolyn Stine
1960 – 2020
Gwendolyn was already an artist who had concentrated on Fine Art in college before she began studying with Myron Barnstone at Barnstone Studios in Coplay, Pennsylvania. The Barnstone Method skills she learned took her art to a completely new level, and earned her national acclaim and numerous awards. Her original pieces are held in private and permanent collections across North America.
As a Barnstone Master Guide, Gwendolyn was one of an elite group of distinguished Barnstone Studios alumni doing one-to-one mentoring sessions with students studying the Barnstone Method recorded classes.

Some of Our Past Winners
Be a Part of This Joy & Creativity!
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
