Seth Apter

Meet Seth Apter: the NYC artist who swapped his psychologist’s couch for a paintbrush and never looked back! Trading “how does that make you feel?” for “how much texture can I add to this?”, Seth proves it’s never too late to start your creative second act.


For Seth, art isn’t a solo sport—it’s a massive block party. He’s obsessed with the magic that happens when makers team up, believing that a little paint and a lot of community can change the world. You’ve likely spotted his gritty, layered masterpieces in top-tier galleries, national magazines, or within the pages of his own hit books, The Pulse of Mixed Media and The Mixed-Media Artist.

When he’s not busy designing cool new gear or teaching at the Pratt Institute, you’ll find him globe-trotting to lead high-energy workshops. Whether he’s teaching online or in person, Seth’s mission is simple: spread the creative spark far and wide. To him, art is everything—but sharing the messy, beautiful process with you is the best part of all!
