Evolve Your Artistic Style
How to Balance Growth & Consistency
How does an artist’s style evolve and how do you know when it’s time to shift direction?
Join Mastrius Mentors Crystal Rassi and Barbara Schilling to discuss the personal, technical, and professional aspects of evolving your artistic style. From the tension between consistency and experimentation to the influence of market demands and artistic growth, panelists will share how they’ve navigated change in their own work.
Topics covered in this interactive panel include:
- Recognizing when your style is shifting and how to follow that change with intention.
- Balancing exploration with consistency in your body of work.
- Managing the internal and external pressures that influence stylistic choices.
- Building a career that allows room for creative growth and reinvention.
Whether you’re feeling frustrated or even a little bored with your own work, this conversation will offer real steps to help you push forward and embrace your artistic evolution.
As always, Mastrius events are LIVE & INTERACTIVE!

Meet Crystal Rassi
Acrylic | Oil | Watercolor | Drawing
Crystal Rassi is an award winning, internationally collected artist who’s been painting throughout her lifetime. Her journey began in a small prairie town in Saskatchewan, Canada where she was always either drawing, designing residential architecture, or building forts out of sticks and snow.
After three years of university studies in fine arts in Alberta and Saskatchewan, she decided to switch her degree to design with a concentration in architecture at the University of Manitoba where she received her bachelors degree. During her time as a designer and detailer, she raised her family with her husband in Saskatchewan for 13 years while also painting, showing and selling her work and teaching art in her community. Prairie culture and landscape were a major theme in her art during this time.
A life would have it, the pandemic greatly affected their life and a door opened in the West and they moved to North Vancouver where she now practices art full time and teaches art part time at her local recreation and culture centre.
Meet Barbara Schilling
Oil
Barbara worked as a Restoration Artist and Conservator for over 35 Years. Now retired from Restoration she dedicates her time to her own art.
As an oil painter her work has been strongly influenced by the bold, impressionist art of Contemporary Russian painters. As a result, her own painting has become bolder and more expressionistic.
“Painting to me is about capturing the energy of a subject. I love strong textures, thick paint and vibrant colors. I search to find a balance between the abstract and the representational.
I love the tactile feel of pushing thick paint around and layering juxtaposing color notes. I have moved away from a more literal translation of my subject to a more emotional response.”
Barbara is a signature member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), and American Impressionists Society (AIS).
