                           Artist Action Figures from my latest class
I just held my first "Deepening Into Your Art's Desire" class and it was a great success and a lot of fun for all of us. The "Deepening" class is for people who have already worked with me and are willing to be adventurous and dive deeper into their creative source. We will continue to explore what we learned and discovered in the 4 day "Manifesting your Art's Desire" class and we'll add some new creative adventures too.


                                    More Artist Action Figures

We will not be printmaking with oil based inks in either of these two workshops. For those of you who are interested in learning about and doing monoprinting and monotypes please take my Monoprinting workshop.

Monoprinting is my art medium of choice. I have been print making for twenty five years and I am still amazed and surprised by the possibilities of this medium. I consider monoprinting the doorway into my creative source. I would love to share with you a few things I know about making prints. You do not need experience but you do need to be willing to let go of control and enjoy the surprises.

These workshops are designed to invigorate and spark your creative imagination allowing for new clarity in all areas of your life. Doing something creative is good for your well being.  I believe that art is the visual language of soul. There is a great yearning within us to be in touch with this healing language. I believe this is important work. I am ready and willing to meet you in my studio so that together we can explore the possibilities.  The time is now. Come on, let's have some fun.
Note, there are some changes in my schedule.
 

Until next time, do art.
