WORKSHOP

Last weekend I did a two day workshop at Cottonwood  in Colorado Springs.  Cottonwood is a magical place where artists rent studio space, hold all types of creative workshops plus have many stimulating art shows.  They are a real asset to the community. I am always thrilled to do a workshop as I get to [...]

BEING THANKFUL

This week is Thanksgiving and I am sitting in my warm home in Colorado with my two wonderful dogs, Emma and Wilson.  The leaves have left the trees and a sense of excitement is in the air. The holidays are about to begin and we will all be extremely busy.  Sometimes in that “busyness” we [...]

FINE ART COLLAGE AND MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP

  Twenty-two beautiful women got together  for the Fine Art Collage and Mixed Media Workshop in Taos, New Mexico.  What a group!  They were all fabulous!  There were many funny moments…..one being….in my talks I said I didn’t want to see any “pantie pink” in their paintings.  After lunch I entered the studio only to [...]

WHAT DO YOU WANT WHEN TAKING A WORKSHOP?

I teach workshops in Taos, New Mexico each summer and I LOVE IT!!! I love my students, I love teaching but most of all I love watching artists grow.  When doing a five day workshop students  live, eat, breathe and talk art for five fabulous days.  They arrive from different environments, different countries, different thought [...]

TIME, FEELING AND OUTPUT

Time, feeling and output…..what does this have to do with painting?  A lot actually.   How many times have you gone into your studio and said to yourself…”I don’t feel like painting today”.  Then what do you do?  Do you pop some popcorn?  Go for a walk?  Call a friend and chat?  Do the laundry?  What [...]
