Mystery Project

Shhh don’t tell anyone yet, but I just began working on a mural commission in Richmond. It is indoors, so I won’t have to worry about safety or cold weather. Something exciting is that it will feature a lot of figures making art, as well as some abstract elements. Since I just started it I don’t have photos yet, but you will see the finished mural photos in the next newsletter, or sooner if you have Instagram.

You Can Still Schedule
A Studio Visit!

There is still time to book your visit. Get small paintings and gicleé prints to give as gifts, or maybe something for yourself. Or come by to see my new studio and say hello! Click on the button to see available dates. And if I don’t see you before the next newsletter comes out, I hope you get to have warm holidays surrounded by health and people you love. That is all we can hope for in these crazy times.

This is a five-week online class starting Tues Jan 4 and ending Feb 1, from 1-3 pm. Learn about the vast possibilities of acrylic as a painting medium. Discover additives that can change paint texture, thickness and opacity. Plan how to use layers and drying time to enrich your colors and textures. Short, engaging discussions, and exercises to do in and out of class are designed to teach you about acrylic technique through demonstrations, feedback and your own in-class painting experience. Paint still lives during class, set up your own at home, or work with references on your own projects.
