| WORKSHOPS
Workshops for adults or children, for a day, or a week, are designed to cover basics and appeal to the individual's directions. We are influenced by what we see around us, and by other artists we have been drawn to. Always looking for new sources of inspiration, we hold on to the creative urge at our core. For me, COLOR, ORDER, MOVING ON, LOOKING BACK, all come into play while working. I would hope to pass that on to other artists. Offerings would include: |

Each workshop is intended to further one's individual visual vocabulary. While introducing the basics to the beginner and jogging the memory of the more experienced artist, the aim is to identify and enlarge the individual artist's particular vision.
