WORKSHOP IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

It has been a fast paced world for me during the past couple months.  I have neglected my blog and I apologize for this. My workshop in British Columbia was beyond the word fabulous.  I taught on Victoria Island in the town of Nanaimo which is about a twenty minute flight from Vancouver. Mary Stewart, [...]

ABSTRACTS THAT GLOW…TAOS,NM

One of my fall workshops in Taos, NM was Abstracts that Glow. Sometimes when artists come to a workshop they come with ideas on how the workshop should run and what should be taught.  Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t.  Doing something we really don’t like to do but is essential in order to [...]

Collage Workshops

I had three fun filled workshops this fall in Taos, NM. Two were Fine Art Collage and Mixed Media with metals.  It is always fun to watch students tear paper to make art that says more than craft.  There is a lot to consider when producing fine art.  Design, color and texture come into play [...]

TAOS TO COLORADO

I left Taos, New Mexico a few days ago and returned to Colorado Springs for the winter. The drive was spectacular with autumn in her fullest beauty.  LaVeta Pass was breathtaking. Autumn is my favorite time of year with its cool temperatures filled with sunshine.  It is also a time to revel in the glory [...]

COLOR, DESIGN and VALUE WORKSHOP

The July workshops are finished, family has come and gone and now the garden beckons her mysterious dance to come and play.   My Color, Design and Value workshop was superb. As you can see by the pictures below we had fun yet the stretching of the brain was intense.  Each artist worked hard and produced [...]

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 [...]

TAOS STUDIO WORKSHOP

My last workshop of the year was filled with four delightful women from four different states….California, Louisiana, Illinois and Texas.  This workshop was an add-on to my schedule and I held it in my Taos studio.   My studio is great but rather small.  Four tables, four women, many stories, much laughter and lots of [...]

GLORIOUS ABSTRACT CLASS IN TAOS

    With the kinks worked out about reducing the dpi, making sure it was a jpg and  finally uploading the photos, I can now show you how much fun the  Glorious Abstract class had.  The photo above shows the class with our class mascot, Emma.  They are standing outside the Stables Gallery and workshop [...]

TAOS ABSTRACT WORKSHOP

Here is the class picture from the workshop in Taos last week.  Fabulous people who joined creative thoughts and produced many wonderful paintings.  It always amazes me when a class comes together as this one did.  They were supportive of each other, painted with all their heart, each suffering silently in frustration with the newness [...]

TAOS WORKSHOPS

Hallelujah the new blog is up and running. I love it and hope you do too. I have just moved to Taos, New Mexico for the summer and fall. I have a wonderful one hundred year old adobe home that feeds my soul. When I come here I immediately relax into the importance of life. [...]
