Learn to paint on an upcycled wood scrap from the local lumberyard. The workshop is for beginning (or those that need a refresher) painters and attendees will complete a painting in two hours. This fast-paced workshop will review materials and techniques in the first half hour and for the last hour and a half, the painting will be completed. Instructor will bring plants for attendees to observe and all students will go home with a completed painting, ready to hang.Recommended ages 16 +

About the instructor:
I started out as a self-taught artist, drawing, painting, writing books and fashion designing on my own as a child. I was very prolific and self-motivated. It is fascinating to look back on my childhood art, as there are a lot of similar themes in my art now including dwellings, animals, modes of transportation and people. I am interested in how people behave (or misbehave) and seek patterns and connections through synchronicity, the subconscious, history, memory and alchemy. Working with paint and ink are my primary mediums, though I dabble in sculpture and textiles as well. I am currently writing a children’s book and love teaching people of all ages. My art is in collections throughout the world including South Africa, New Zealand, Europe and Canada.
