Spring into March at Painting with a Twist
March 2012

Greetings! 

Kimberly Cotton, Owner

 

We are so excited to offer you a fun-filled March calendar! We've got a little something for everyone, including Spring Break Art classes, a Couples Night, and a few opportunities to Paint with a Purpose. 

 

Speaking of Painting with a Purpose, we just raised over $525 for Relay for Life - Team Hope & Conquer.  Later this month, we'll be hosting Relay for Life - Team Life over Limb as well as a medical fundraiser for Shawna Graham-Herring, wife & mother who lost her battle to cervical cancer. We can't thank you enough for your support. Thank you for helping us help others one painting at a time.

 

Look forward to seeing you at the studio -- Kimberly Cotton

After a tough battle with the cancer, surgeries, radiation, and chemo treatments, Shawna proved victorious and was given a clean bill of health. Shawna continued her plans to marry the love of her life Justin Herring in September of 2011. Just 2 weeks before her wedding, Shawna was again diagnosed with cancer and this time, on her lung.

Artist Spotlight - Candace Digiacomo
Candace has been with our studio since we opened in 2010. She teaches most of our kids birthday parties and kids classes. Her charm and talent leave customers feeling comfortable and confident about their paintings. Some of her original artwork hangs in our studio, so stop by sometime and check it out! 
 
About the Artist
Candace graduated with a BFA from the University of North Texas in May 2011. Her main body of work is based off of figures from life or photographs. Candace's first objectives were to create compelling compositions and to apply the paint in a unique way while maintaining the integrity of the figures. She hints at narratives to allow the viewers to bring their own experiences to the setting. This collection of paintings was created on colored canvas. The colors chosen for a particular image serve to represent objects or spaces by
being left bare or revealed in washes. Candace uses acrylic paint because her methods are quick and planar.
