The Visual Sentence: Printmaking & Collage
Discover a whole new world of artistic possibility when you remove the boundaries of the canvas or substrate and string your pieces together like words in a sentence. We will make individual prints using the gel plate, and OPEN acrylic paints on various papers. Each print is a part of a whole, not a whole image, and you can mix and match to your delight!

Abstract Collage: Creating Compositions with Tissue Paper
This workshop is on Skillshare. Composition is perhaps the most elusive aspect of abstract painting. Since there is no specific object depicted in an abstract piece, composition - the way the elements work together on the canvas or page - takes a central role. In this Skillshare class I want to demystify some of the main components of abstract composition, making it accessible to anyone.

The Visual Sentence: Printmaking and Collage
Discover a whole new world of artistic possibility when you remove the boundaries of the canvas or substrate and string your pieces together like words in a sentence. You will make individual prints using the gel plate*, and OPEN acrylic paints on various papers. Each print is a part of a whole, not a whole image, and you can mix-and-match to your delight! You will make many prints in order to generate a plethora of possibilities when it comes to creating your sentences.

The Elements of Visual Language: A Fresh Look at Abstract Composition
This is not a workshop on How-To-Make-Good-Composition, or ‘correct’ composition. It is an examination of visual elements - color, value, line, shape, etc., and exploration of their infinite possibilities. We will begin with exercises to deepen your awareness of common defaults, the compositional conventions we tend to fall back on without realizing it. With this new awareness we can make conscious choices and experiment more broadly, turning composition into an expansive area of inquiry, rather than a set of rules to follow. Let your approach evolve with your art practice to reflect your unique way of seeing and expressing.

Expanding the Sketchbook - All New!
A 10-week workshop with a Zoom every Tuesday (we skip 2 weeks in March).
This workshop offers a challenging, yet fun, creative workout each week, with a prompt that will have you bubbling beyond the confines of your comfort zone, for a truly expansive experience. The Sketchbook becomes a state of mind or a practice, rather than a stack of pages bound at one edge.
For those of you who took The World is Your Sketchbook, this is the same format, but new content.
