Intermediate
Why we paint is far more important than what or how we paint. My work is a study in contrasts: light and dark, vertical and horizontal, warm and cool, the real and the imagined, and elements of the past, present, and future. I love to design with conflicting elements - allowing them to find balance and resolution on the surface of the paper in surprising and expressive ways. And I try never to paint just what I look at, but rather how it is I see. Painting for me is less about the result and more about becoming fully present in the process. I learn by better listening to my own creative voice. And I invite you to take part in this process - not to listen to any narrative of mine, but to help you to find and develop the artistic voice that is yours alone.
Dates: October 2-4, 2026 (3 days), Friday through Sunday, 9 AM - 4 PM PST
