Art classes: working on the "Basics"

Thank goodness the weather's rainy and blustery: it makes heading inside for an art class much more inviting!

Ever made a collage? Or used a masking pen to create designs on your collage? Try it out during "Collage Basics with Photos" at the Cole Art Studio. We'll use photocopies of favorite photos to breathe new life into familiar images. Details:

Registration is open now. Please sign up at Cole Gallery and join us!

Gallery representation: in real life and online

I turned around this morning and found I'm now represented by three art galleries! (Yeah right. Like it was that easy.) This weekend, three of my altered books are for sale at the brand-new Gallery Onyx.

You might remember I've shown my work periodically with this artist group, most recently at the Washington State Convention Center and the Northwest African American Museum. The grand opening will be June 12th, but for now, here are the gallery's hours:

Online, you can find much of my larger works at Hanson Scott Gallery. Later this year, Hanson Scott will host my solo show to debut new assemblages, altered books and collages.

And if you're in Edmonds, my quote collages are available at ARTSpot Edmonds. I'll be doing some demos there soon, so watch this space for more information about that and upcoming shows. The weather's warming up, so lots of art events are on the horizon!

Serious play: teaching art classes

So... it's really gonna happen. In a couple of months, I'll start teaching classes! This week, I've been working on creating class samples:

The above collage is on an 8" x 8" wood panel, using specialty paper from ARTSpot and an wash of acrylic paint over one of my favorite images. The David Hockney quote is created using the paint-resist technique I'll be teaching in April. More info to come as soon as I have a link for you to click. (P.S. If you're on my newsletter mailing list, you'll get the details first! Go to the sidebar on the right to sign up.)

FYI, each class will be very small -- about six people, so I can give my students more individualized attention. So when I say "go," register on the ARTSpot site and save your space ASAP. Got it?
