Some more exciting things going on again for me--I'm now part of a local art gallery. In all of the years that I've been making mixed media, I was always a little nervous about 'putting myself out there' in the art community. But this year, I felt it was time--like really...what am I waiting for?? So needless to say, I've been busy this month....
making texture....
with some elephant and giraffe art....
and playing with a sun face--
and one of my favorite things to do--making a 'tree house'--
They're now all at Gallery 29 of Sharon, PA--
.......which I'm now very proud to be a part of. It's a wonderful gallery
that supports many of the very talented local artists. They
also have lots going on every month including classes and
workshops.
And speaking of workshops, last year I taught my very first one--I was very nervous about this (to say the least), but I always wanted to teach a workshop......so I did.....and I'm so glad that I did. I'm happy to say that I'll be going back again this year in Chautauqua Lake, New York for Art Retreat on the Lake on September 7 & 8. This year I'll be showing how to paint in layers to create this piece--
.....and for the next day--looks like we'll be painting papers again to make some some assemblage art.
I'm looking forward to this year---trying to step outside my comfort zone a bit---like they say, you never know if you'll like it unless you try--right??
