  A concertina (aka accordion) book is one of the easiest types of books you can create on your own! I love this format because it functions like a traditional book, allowing you to turn the pages. Additionally, you can unfold it completely to display all the pages simultaneously.
  Concertina Books are perfect for using as art journals, sketchbooks, junk journals, travel journals, and photo albums.
  During the morning session, we will concentrate on designing the cover for our Concertina Book. I will demonstrate some fun creative mixed-media methods, using layers of collage, acrylic paint, and various other techniques.
  In the afternoon, we'll create our concertina (accordion) folded books. This type of fold enables the sketchbook to unfold into a single sheet of paper that is 8 feet long! This adaptable format allows for personal adjustments to the substrate size, from using individual sheets measuring 6" x 8.25" to working across multiple folds for panoramas or landscapes. With 16 continuous sheets (32 sides), these distinctive sketchbooks will be crafted from Strathmore Watercolor paper.
  We'll design hard covers for our sketchbooks using our own handmade designs, and a ribbon closure will complete our book.

  By the end of the workshop, you will have gained a wide range of painting and collage techniques, along with a finished Concertina Book!

  Materials Fee $25 paid at the beginning of class includes:

   

  • 2 sheets book board 6 ¼” x 4 ¼” grain long
  • Watercolor Pad Strathmore 6” x 18.5” (12 sheets) 140lb-300gr
  • Collage packets
  • Mechanical Pencil
  • All-purpose glue
  • Shared acrylic paints

  Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

  • 9” x 12” Mixed Media Paper from sketch book (for our covers)
  • About 4 sponge brushes 1-1.5” in size
  • Bone Folder
  • Utility knife or box cutting knife for cutting cover pages

  I'll help you take the guesswork out of the blank canvas with these 6 easy-yet-dynamic works of art. These 6 paintings can be created on any surface--canvas, wood, art journal, etc. and with the materials that you already have in your art stash. You will go from feeling uninspired and stuck, to feeling full of creativity and inspiration by the end of class. Each surface will have it’s own color/theme/mood, but all six works of art will flow together as a final product.  We will play with color combinations, collage, various mixed media techniques and materials (paint pens, acrylic paint, oil pastels)

  Folk Art Painting: Birch Trees and Chickadees. 

  The style of folk art painting is simple imagery with rustic lines, often telling a story of everyday life. In this class we will paint a grove of birch trees surrounding a cozy house. Chickadees are charming chunky birds that add light and joy to the landscape and we will fill the house by drawing some of our favorite things (examples are: flowers, food, coffee, cat/dog, books). No experience is necessary. Your painting and drawing style will emerge throughout the class. Individuality is what makes each artist shine. We will use chalk as an outline so there is lots of time to practice/erase/fine tune your work.

  Gessoed wood cradle board 
  Paper for practice 
  Demo/guideline instructions

  This is an open level class as there is plenty to be learned by someone who has never painted before or those who are full time artists and teachers. A mix of demonstration, lecture and hands on painting will introduce students to my ideas, techniques and the concepts that motivate my work.

  In this mixed-media painting class you will learn to create paintings that emerge from an abstract base of markings, colors, line, and shape to form expressive and organic creations. Students will learn painting and mark making techniques that will encourage imagery and connection to their work. Through a series of painting exercises, you will explore and express your ideas by imagining what could be created from abstraction rather than confining your ideas to predetermined outcomes. Within the process we will create narrative dialogue by noting what we see and feel in our work . Through the practice of subtractive painting we will remove the parts that are no longer relevant or keep us trapped from progress. This teaches us choice and freedom to change direction in our work. We continually build layers within our paintings combining fragments of passed ideas with the new until we arrive at a feeling of completion . Through this engagement we learn to experiment, take risks, re associate our work from perspectives unconfined by our expectations. This allows us to see things clearly and move to a more expressed and personal engagement when painting. Using simple materials and techniques you will be free to express yourself within your paintings in new ways. finding yourself as a painter from the raw base of art, learning your personal likes dislikes. Connecting you to your practice and imagery from a position of experimentation and instinct. Teaching you to imagine the unimaginable.

  For me painting is an experience in every way, i love the feeling of each
  of my mediums and methods, drawing clenched fisted, wrong handed, without
  looking, using my hand and palms to smear and mix acrylic paints, using
  brushes, scrapers, oil crayons, and pastels in any way that comes to mind.
  I'm always looking for a new technique to inspire me.. painting in many
  reckless layers searching for a meaning in random intentions, then pulling
  out the images i begin to see. This is what I will aim to instill in all
  of you.. the excitement of the unexpected.. creating in ways that don't
  seem logical. This is a key step towards understanding intuition

  If you would like to learn more about my teaching style and my background you can check out the videos below

  Here is a link to a recent feature on my teaching ideas and techniques from Oregon Artbeat

  Technique and Project.

  Not everything needs to be tidy, tasteful, or tied up in a matching ribbon. In fact, some of the most compelling art is a little unruly, deeply layered, and proudly imperfect. This two-day mixed media retreat is a celebration of going off-script, letting your materials lead the way, and creating from that deliciously unpredictable place where real magic lives.

  We’re here to break a few rules (gently), rip some edges (enthusiastically), and lean into the mystery of what happens when you give yourself full permission to make a glorious mess. Whether you’ve been making art for years or are just itching to try something new, you’ll find a welcoming, joy-filled space to explore, experiment, and surprise yourself.

  Here’s what’s in store:
  ** Day One – We’ll kick things off by building a rich stash of textured, layered, and wildly expressive papers. Think rusting, staining, mark making, paint peeling, and multi-layered tearing and distressing that’ll make your inner rebel sing. You’ll walk away with a pile of papers that practically hum with possibility.

  ** Day Two – Time to channel all that juicy chaos into a rogue art book. This isn’t your tidy little scrapbook—this is a small but powerful art object packed with energy, emotion, and unexpected twists. We’ll play with composition, explore unusual combinations, and incorporate tip-outs, surprise shapes, and any other delightful detours that emerge along the way.

  Your creative voice is the main event here. My role? To share an overflowing toolbox of techniques, offer suggestions when you want them, and cheer you on as you dive into your own unique process.

  This is your invitation to step off the beaten path and let your creativity lead the way—no map required.

  Materials Fee $20 paid at beginning of class includes:

  Watercolor paper
  Cheese cloth
  tissue paper
  Stencils
  Dyes
  Walnut Ink
  Instant coffee
  waxed linen
  Rusty objects
  Vinegar
  Plastic
  Black ink
  A ton of mark-making tools
  Water-soluble graphite
  Texture tools
  Vintage papers

  Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

   An assortment of sturdy paper: mixed media paper, watercolor paper, card stock
   An assortment of collage papers : think textured, vintage, worn
  An assortment of acrylic paints in your favorite color palette. (I prefer Liquitex and  Amsterdam acrylics. Make sure to include a black and white.
  Scissors 
  Wet wipes
  A palette and water container
  Paintbrushes in an assortment of sizes
   Matte gel medium
   a white paint pen ( I prefer Posca) a thin metal ruler suitable for tearing paper

  An artist’s statement tells others about you and your work. Writing one is a powerful exercise for articulating your passion and art. But, it’s also a challenge to capture in words what is often so hard to express and intangible. No matter your medium or level of proficiency, a good statement is a useful tool to make you a better artist, gain confidence and open doors to showing your art.

  In this workshop, you will be guided through a series of questions to gather information to create a sophisticated artist’s statement, and to deepen your thinking about your own art making.

  Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

  A favorite pen
  A highlighter or two
  Paper to write on: lined and unlined
  A sample or image of your typical art or craft
  Optional: copies of artist’s statements that appeal to you.
  Optional: a list of other artists whose work you admire and is similar to yours. Print outs of their artist statements. Even better is to read their statements with a highlighter ahead of time with your favorite ideas well marked. You can just bring a mobile device to search but it’s better to have them printed and read in advance.
  Optional: a list of any shows you’ve been in and the dates.

  All other materials will be supplied.

  Truly an immersive experience, this class takes coloring fabric with acrylics and the use of gel plates to the next level. Hand dyed fabrics make any project more personal. They create more options and more opportunity to realize your artistic vision. Say goodbye to toxic chemicals and hello to vibrant colors and intricate details as you learn to dye fabric with acrylics, achieving the same stunning results as fiber reactive dyes. And…did you know gel plates are available in sizes up to 16 x 20 inches! Imagine pulling a fabric mono-print using a 16x20 gel plate.  Working with a partner, you will have that experience! It’s remarkable what we can accomplish working together.  You will experiment with acrylic color in its wide variety of forms; liquid, medium bodied, and solid pencil or block, and you will explore a wide variety of application techniques; immersion, direct application and finally gel printing with plates in multiple sizes. You'll walk away from class with a newfound understanding of working with acrylics, a collection of hand-dyed fabrics, and the inspiration to incorporate them into your next project. This class is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced artists looking to explore a new medium.

  *This is a stand-alone class. However, it is a companion class to my Fabric Collage - Female Guardian Figure. What could be more perfect than incorporating your hand dyed fabric into your personal vision of the guardian figure, ‘she who watches.’

  Material fee $25 paid directly to instructor at beginning of class includes:

  Use of gel plates in sizes 5x7, 8x10, 9x12, and 16x20 inches
   Fluid acrylics

  The Gelli plate is so much more than just a background-maker. In this one-day workshop, we’ll take a painterly, process-driven approach to Gelli printing—one that results in stand-alone works of art that feel personal, layered, and expressive.

  You don’t need to know how to draw to make something beautiful. We’ll use the plate as a springboard to create images with depth and intention, exploring techniques that move beyond the usual Gelli routine.

  What we’ll explore:
  • Reverse painting, a method for building images from the inside out
  • Drawing materials—like pencils and pastels—used in unexpected ways
  • Embossing through pressure, including the delightfully rogue use of a humble ballpoint pen
  • Simple, low-tech image reproduction—no frustrating transfers here

  You’ll work from images that inspire you—whether that’s something meaningful from home or one from my collection of curious and beautiful source material.

  Like always, I’ll demonstrate the techniques, offer tips and guidance, and cheer you on as you find your own creative rhythm. There’s room for experimentation, quiet discovery, and even a few surprises along the way.

  This is an invitation to approach the Gelli plate as a tool for making complete, expressive artwork—with a little mess, a lot of play, and results you might not expect (in the best way).

  Materials Fee $15 paid at beginning of class includes:

  Mixed media paper
  Tracing paper
  Pencils
  Charcoal
  Mineral oil
  Gloves
  Stencils
  Texture tools
  Printer paper
  Extra image
  Pens
  Padding 

  Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

  Two Gelli plates
  An assortment of acrylic paints in your favorite color palette. (I prefer Amsterdam acrylics). Make sure to include a black and white.  
  Brayer 
  An assortment of acrylic pens ( I prefer Posca) make sure to include a black and white
  4-6 images that you want to work with sized to your Gelli plates. Black and White can  be easier to work with but not necessary. 
  An assortment of paint brushes 
  A small box of cheap pastels
  Matte Gel Medium
  Wet wipes

  We often describe our work as ‘too busy’. Understandably so as Mixed Media in its essence is often a multilayered process in which we add much more than we remove. There is beauty in that and great satisfaction too. However, often times it becomes ‘too much’ and we find ourselves wanting ‘less’. We crave spaciousness, ‘breathing room’, and movement. In this 2 day workshop we’ll explore the concept of ‘Less is More’, explore minimalism in Mixed Media, a new way of being ourselves.

  Supplies Needed to Bring to Class:

  Bring with you ~10 small surfaces (at least) you can’t wait to work on.......
  Small canvases of your choice, card boards, wood panels, old vintage book boards, etc.

  -A sidekick - a used/vintage book with images/photographs/illustrations you love, to be altered. (Book should lay flat when worked on and preferably not glossy)
  -Acrylic Paints (a few colors of your choice), a container for water, paper towels or/and rags
  -White Gesso
  -Black Gesso
  -A couple of different size brushes, from very thin to wide and flat
  -Scissors
  -Matte or Soft Gel (Liquitex, Golden)
  -Fine permanent black pens.
  -A nice size of a personal collection of collage papers, blank (or almost blank, like old letters, pages from old books, etc.), miscellaneous images, original or photocopies, pages from magazines and old book, etc.

  In Mexico, they celebrate Día de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) around the same time Western cultures commemorate All Souls Day and Halloween. This colorful festival is full of joy rather than horror, honoring one’s beloved family and friends who have departed from this earth. During the festival, Ofrendas (altars) are set up for those who are being remembered. Offerings of flowers, candles, favorite foods, and treasured memorabilia are arranged to welcome the spirits of the departed loved ones. It is a beautiful ceremony full of tradition. No Day of the Dead Celebration is complete without skulls. Skulls made of papier mache, skulls carved from wood, Skull masks, and skulls formed of sugar or baked as cakes and breads… Skulls are beautifully adorned with flowers and sometimes with the name of a departed (or in some cases, still living) person on them.
  In this workshop, you will create a panel featuring a skull from felt stitched to a colorful folk art background and then embellish it with flowers cut from botanical prints. The flowers are further adorned and held in place with various hand embroidery stitches.  If you'd like to, you can finish your collage by embroidering the name of one of your own departed loved ones as a memorial to them or of someone still living. By doing so, you are not wishing them harm but saving them a place in the afterlife.

  Materials Fee $45 paid at beginning of class includes:

  A colorful background panel, felt for the skull, a variety of fabric pieces (pre-treated) with lightweight fabric adhesive, templates, beads/sequins, embroidery floss, and needles.

  Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

  Craft Scissors: With sharp blades to cut fine details.

  A Thimble: If you prefer hand sewing with one.

  This class is open to all levels including those who have never painted before. this is a great class for anyone who has struggled with or would simply like to explore new and expressed ways of creating faces. using fun simple techniqes we will carve imagery into - ez carve printing blocks, and experiment with mono printing. allowing us to print the imagery in a variety of ways. its more about the way we print the image then the complexity of the carving. in most cases the simpiler the better. Once we have experimented with carving and printing we will be ready to work the pieces into expressed artifacts. reshaping, and reworking the imagery in ways that give it an aged and weathered look. we will use text and symbols to add meaning and question within the work.

  Using block printing as a base for creation will allow experimentation without the fear of mistakes. We will be able to repeat the imagery with ease by simply reprinting from our carvings. this repeated imagery will encourage us to experiment with new techniques like subtraction methods and compare the various printing and redefining methods against one another. the techniques are quick simple and imediate keeping things fun and moving forward.

  These techniques and concepts work perfectly in connection with any of my other painting methods. So if youve taken a class with me previously these techniques will act as new tools which you can incorporate with any other concepts you have learned.

  If you would like to learn more about my teaching style and my background you can check out the videos below

  In this  video I explain my ideas and motivation while painting. if you ever wanted to take a class with me this video will give you a good idea of how I teach and think about painting.
