Fabric-Ations

Wonderful student show on Sunday at Daytona Art League! There were so many people there and I just loved seeing everyone's work displayed together. Even though the collage aspects of the work were similar, the end results of their work was not. Each artist brought their own voice to their pieces which makes me the proudest teacher! Congratulations ladies and thanks for inviting me to be a part of it! Can't wait for the Advanced workshop in October!

Thank you again to all the folks at Sobo Art Center and the Winter Garden Art Association for a great workshop this past weekend. I was so impressed with the work created and so proud of the you ladies- especially those of you who haven't drawn faces before! Your desire to push yourself artistically past your comfort zone and to do it so successfully makes me feel overjoyed! Fantastic work!

Drawing and Painting with Mixed Media Collage

Learn the joys of mixed media collage. The workshop will address working with papers, fabrics, found objects, past art work, pencil and charcoal drawing, and acrylic painting. The materials used will be the choice of each student, but students are encouraged to incorporate some of their own prior art work into new pieces. The objective of the workshop is to explore new mixed media techniques and excavate each student’s authentic voice in their art.

I encourage everyone to incorporate mixed media collage into what they already do! I will work with each of you on whatever style project you would like to work on whether it is faces, figures, landscapes, still lives or abstracts. We collage on the first day and then draw and paint on the second day. There are no set rules in my workshops. I try to create a fun time that introduces new techniques and a comfortable learning environment to enhance where you already are. All levels are welcomed!

Will. See Shall

May 08, 2015 in Faces

I found this title among the dictionary pages of this collage. The words struck me as philosophically poignant. I knew the definition was referring to the use of will vs shall when describing the future tense of the verb. But the other meanings of will and shall got me thinking about striving vs surrender. If being an artist has taught me anything, it has taught me that both determination and resolution are necessary for success. If my yoga practice has taught me anything, it has showed me that effort and letting go are both necessary for balance. And if life has taught me anything, it is that experience and introspection are both required for tranquility.
