Fantastic Time at Sobo Art Center
Thank you again to all the folks at Sobo Art Center and the Winter Garden Art Association for a great workshop this past weekend. I was so impressed with the work created and so proud of the you ladies- especially those of you who haven't drawn faces before! Your desire to push yourself artistically past your comfort zone and to do it so successfully makes me feel overjoyed! Fantastic work!
Workshop in Winter Garden this weekend!
Drawing and Painting with Mixed Media Collage 2 Day Workshop at Winter Garden Art Association at the SOBO Art Center
May 16-17, 2015, Saturday and Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm

Drawing and Painting with Mixed Media Collage
Learn the joys of mixed media collage. The workshop 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 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. We collage on the first day and then draw and paint on the second day. 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!

The Artist's Workshop in NSB
I had a fantastic time at The Artist's Workshop in New Smyrna Beach this weekend! I am continuously amazed at how different everyone's work is at the end of the weekend and I was very impressed with the talent in the class. Here's just some of the great work that was created. We are talking about having a 2.0 class over the summer to explore the drawing and painting aspects further. Please let me know if and when you would be interested. Thanks again!!
Here's two pieces that I created while there....
Fun In Ormond Beach
I had such a great time teaching and sharing at the Ormond Art Museum this weekend. I am continuously amazed by the work that comes out during these weekends! Each artist's work comes out so differently and I see that as the greatest achievement. Each of us is on our own journey, bringing different experiences and passions to the table. I love that collage and pattern and color are as liberating for others as it is for me. And I am so grateful for the reciprocated positive energies!
We will definitely have a master class up there in Volusia County- probably sometime after the workshop in New Smyrna on April 11-12. The prerequisite will be taking one of my 2 day workshops and we will focus on the drawing and painting parts of this process. Let me know if you prefer 1 or 2 days. I will keep you posted about the where and when. Please keep emailing me or posting your new work on my art facebook page. I love to see what you are doing!
With much gratitude, Christine

Authenticity
The washi tape on the bottom of this piece refers to Chopin's Authenticity of One in G flat major, but I'm using the title to refer to a conversation we had at my last workshop where I did this piece as a demo. The conversation was about workshop participants and the work they create in that workshop- whether it is theirs or not. My philosophy in teaching is about showing and explaining new techniques and helping people foster their own voice with what they've learned. Classes where the students copy their teacher's work may have its place, but not with me. I want to shake loose new ideas from people's minds but in their style and their own time frame. I think I do that. I want you to create your own work, to show, share and sell. I love getting emails from you showing me your latest creations! Keep the authenticity coming!
