Boise Weekly Cover Auction and other Holiday 2013 events

The Boise Weekly Cover Auction is this Wednesday Nov. 20 at 6pm at the Visual Arts Collective. This piece of mine that was on the cover last January will be up for Auction.

Next on my agenda is teaching another Mini Masters art class for ages 6-12 at the Garden City Public library from 1-2pm Thanksgiving Week. This is free and open to the public (you don't have to live in Garden City)

I am excited to be taking part in the Boise Open Studios Artist in Residence (AiR) program at 404 S. 8th St. ste. 182 above Cafe Ole for the Month of December. I will be posting regular hours as well as an open house on First Thursday Dec. 5 and First Thursday Jan. 2.

And...if you are interested in purchasing a piece of art please contact me or stop by Green Chutes in Boise to see a selection of my work.

Mini-Masters

Georgia O'Keefe Inspired Large flower paintings

 The first of August I taught a week long art camp at the Garden City Public Library. It was just 1 hour a day. Ages 6-12, but I did have some well behaved 3 year olds!

More paintings

Other day's we did "ugly" clay faces based on Picasso's cubist period. Matisse inspired collages. "drawing with scissors" and monochromatic found object sculptures based on Louise Nevelson's art.

This boy had a tutor with him and she said she had made more progress with him in this session than she had all summer! 

Collages were on day 1 and I didn't think to take any pictures. Then I asked if it was ok if I took photos and they said yes. The two sculpture days I had a packed room and didn't have time to take photos.

Oil Pastel and Crayon Post-Expressionistic Landscapes inspired by Van Gogh

 I really appreciated how the staff at the library trusted me as a professional to do my job and let me create the curriculum and handle the classes as I saw fit. It was a fun week and I will be back Thanksgiving Break for another 3 day session.
