It's a year full of changes, and it's only February. today is February 21, 2020!
I'm looking towards a bright and fruitful year as an artist, a creative, a teacher,
but also as a Mother and Mentor to 5 bright and beautiful children.
Sculpture Garden 2020 remains as my theme for the year, which began as inspiration from our 2019 trip to Blarney Castle in Ireland, where beautiful sculptures were scattered about the grounds and paths leading up to and around the castle site. I was intrigued, curious, and wanted to learn more... and create more along those lines.
I want to explore and encourage my students to discover for themselves what they are capable of, and what is possible. But of course, there's a need to teach some fundamental basics along the way.
So my courses this year are a combination of both... Fundamental Design and Drawings, Structures and Shapes, and Drawing Concepts, Composition, and of course Creative Freedoms.
Questions: What is art, what makes your art? What do you want to see? How can you make that happen? We will constantly be in a mode of self discovery.
Upcoming Art Programs... Some are individual courses, and some are ideas and outlines. All classes are available for children and adults, and can be taken as a single art lesson, or be the building blocks for a more in depth art program.
Art Camps are intended for small groups upto 6 or 8 students depending on the age/skill set.
There's always room for private lessons and art based field trips.
