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??

Your gorgeous work looks fantastic in the gallery Diane! Congratulations on your representation. The lake retreat where you teach sounds really heavenly. Nothing like being in nature AND making art. Wishing you another prosperous year in 2016!! xo
