Teaches at Institute for Art and Living

​Stewart Cubley, Founder and Director

For over four decades, Stewart Cubley has pioneered a way of integrative and creative living through the practice of process painting. His method is one of respectful questioning, inviting you to extend yourself into new areas of thought and feeling. Stewart has the ability to meet you where you are and to ask the right question at the right time. He is a down-to-earth teacher whose personal interactions allow you to see yourself differently in ways that can be life changing. Stewart travels throughout the world, teaching his unique approach to thousands of people at personal growth centers such as the Esalen Institute and the Omega Institute. He has brought his work to multinational corporations, programs in prisons and countless other public forums.

Stewart Cubley is a coauthor of the highly acclaimed book Life, Paint & Passion: Reclaiming the Magic of Spontaneous Expression (Tarcher/Putnam). Stewart has traveled throughout the world for more than 40 years working with individuals and groups to access the potential within the human heart and imagination. He has taught his unique approach to thousands of people at learning-based organizations, corporations, monasteries, prisons, and other public forums.

He and his wife, Shae Irving, live in Fairfax, California and part of the year on their homestead near Denali Park, Alaska.
