1: Loosen up. 2: Alter. 3: Integrate.

I've been hard at work getting my Artfully Altered workshop ready! It is a one-day workshop that will happen Saturday February 21st and/or Monday February 23rd. I like to offer my workshops once on a weekday and once on a weekend so people with assorted obligations can have a chance to take it. :)

In the class, we will:

• begin with quite innovative and outside the box exercises to get us to loosen up and consider new ways of seeing and creating
• utilize approximately ten methods that I love to use to uniquely alter photos, and pages from catalogs and magazines
• create a monster journal using file folders and papers into which we will integrate the altered works
• discover ways to integrate altered works onto other substrates

Fun group has started to form. Enrollment is now open here. Join us if you want to. :)

Announcing :: Artfully Altered

I'm excited to announce my Artfully Altered workshop in Studio CRESCENDOh in February, 2015! A full-day class where I'll share prompts and methods on how to view photos and pages of catalogues and magazines with an artistic and playful point of view and then use that point of view to create alterations using my favorite methods.

After that, we will together discover how those altered photos and catalogue pages can be incorporated into art journals and other works of art that are fun, fresh, and unconventional.

The fun we will have. :)

Enrollment is now open here.

Painted Dress

 

I had great fun painting this dress yesterday during my class. I love it on many levels but the level I love the most is that I had been wanting to do a dress for a long time and instead of practice-painting a dress until I perfected it, I just did my very first one right in front of class. I wanted to model the behavior of embracing the concept of "there's no time like the present" and just went for it.

Makes me want to paint more dresses. Maybe I will. Or maybe I'll paint other things. In any case, I'll have my newest paintings up for the next Art Walk in Santa Ana, which is Saturday, March 1, 2014. I'll be there from 6-10. The golden hourse are 7-9. The address:

Studio CRESCENDOh
207 N. Broadway St., Suite L
Santa Ana, CA 92701

Art always.
