Amazing things happen when you combine water and color and paper, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to share some of my techniques in a special 3-day workshop at Plaza on March 29, 30, & 31! Abstract Adventures in Water Media is sponsored by the Tennessee Watercolor Society. It’s a very welcoming group, and the Nashville chapter typically has several shows and socials every year. You can learn more here:

Looking for a weekly class? There are still a few spots left in my Mixed Media Spring Session. It’s 8-weeks of personal instruction, and we start on Thursday, March 7 at Plaza.

Escape from Winter with watercolor! We had a great time at the sold-out Watercolor Basics workshop last weekend, and you have 2 more opportunities to come paint with me in February. Time’s almost up to join us on Tuesday nights for Mixed Media: Watercolor + Ink at Watkins College of Art; this 9-week class is great for all skill levels, so sign up before registration closes on Monday!

 

If you’d rather take a one-day workshop, join us for Creating Watercolor Textures on February 16 at Plaza; all supplies are included!

 

You can learn more about both classes here:

I’ll be adding the Spring classes to my website soon, so here’s a sneak preview: I’m especially excited to be offering 2 versions of The Secret Side of Books, including a 2-day one at Watkins on March 9 & 10. We’ll have fun making tunnel books and other structures with a secret side, so you won’t want to miss this one!

What a surprise to find that my pieces were chosen to represent the Art WORKS Collection on the Metro Arts kiosk! It was a lovely reception and lots of fun to hang out with the other artists and tour each floor to see all the art. Here I am with the other artists and the Board of Metro Arts Commission:

If you missed the Open House, you can see the collection anytime during regular business hours at the Metro Office Building. My pieces are on the 3rd floor near the elevator.

 

 


 

I’ll be teaching lots of classes and workshops in 2019, including a new one called Creating Watercolor Textures. It’ll be on Saturday, February 16, at Plaza, and the details will be on my website soon!

 

Best wishes for the New Year!
