Drawing and Painting with Mixed Media Collage
Learn the joys of mixed media collage. In the workshop, I teach the fundamentals of collage, drawing and painting. I will address working with papers, fabrics, found objects, past art work, pencil and charcoal drawing, and acrylic painting. The materials used will be the choice of each student, but students are encouraged to incorporate some of their own prior art work into new pieces. The objective of the workshop is to explore new mixed media techniques and excavate each student’s authentic voice in their art.
I teach 2 drawing methods using the student's own photos. I teach how to graph a photo for any size free hand drawing and also a tracing method that works well for small pieces and individuals who are intimidated or new to drawing. We learn the fundamentals of collage on the first day and then spend the second day drawing and painting over those collages. I do drawing demonstrations on the first day so that you know what to expect and what kind of photo reference to bring. I work individually with each person trying to get their projects to a place that they love.
I encourage everyone to incorporate mixed media collage into what they already do! I will work with each of you on whatever style project you would like to work on whether it is faces, figures, landscapes, still lives or abstracts. There are no set rules in my workshops. I try to create a fun time that introduces new techniques and a comfortable learning environment to enhance where you already are. All levels are welcomed!

Mingle Magazine Article
in publications
The January issue of Mingle Magazine contains my second published article accompanied by my photos and my art work-- and I am so grateful! Thank you Mingle! The article is called the Angel Warriors of Bainbridge Island and it is about my time teaching there last May. They picked up my idea from my blog post about my adventures outside of Seattle. The bitter-sweetness of the article is that I refined and rewrote the blog post turned article, on my phone when my Mom was dying in RI Hospital. Writing it was simultaneously the greatest gift and a heart wrenching experience in the midst of so much sadness. And now here it is in full color. I just wish I could show it to her.
Pat Dinizio
in Murals
Pat Dinizio, lead singer of the Smithereens and my friend, passed away yesterday. He was a total sweetheart, an amazing singer/guitarist/songwriter and genuine lover of goofy things. He commissioned me to paint murals inspired by the Addams Family in his house and mural backdrops for the Smithereens inspired by the backdrop mural from White Christmas and the album Attack of the Smithereens. I will miss your crazy laugh Pat! Peace
