DIY Acrylic Mediums & Texture Lifelong Learning

4/11/2021

 
Picture

This is cause for celebration: My first SOLD OUT in-person workshop at the University of Utah's Lifelong Learning Program in over one year! The world has changed. We are all slowly adapting to a new normal. What hasn't changed is that there is a special kind of "magic" in connecting as a community of artists, and I am so incredibly grateful to serve my community in this capacity.

Check out my next DIY Acrylic Mediums & Texture Workshop on June 26, 2021

​BIG. AMAZING. WONDERFUL things are happening at Workshop SLC and I am so happy to be a part of it!

Here is a short story about contrast: 

​Renting an art studio is a big deal. I am extremely cognizant that we become (whether we like it or not!) the people we spend the majority of our time with. ​

Thank You For Sharing!

Painting is communion & community. COMMUNION because we get the chance to connect with Source to channel and manifest creativity through form, and COMMUNITY because painting is so much fun when it's a team sport. 

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have taught a 2-day ZOOM workshop last weekend. My fear in resisting ZOOM as a viable platform for teaching and learning were completely unfounded. We were able to get so close, so deep, so fast! 

This photo represents our paintings in progress after our first day together. Thank you to everyone who participated. Thank you Healdsburg Art Center in California for creating the opportunity. 

Join us for my next ZOOM workshop April 24 & 25 through Arts Benica, CA. For more information & to register:

Fearless Abstract Painting Workshop: CLASS NOTES

2/21/2021

 
Picture

If you've taken one of my Fearless Abstract Painting workshops, you know it's a lot of information to digest. Quite often there is so much "unlearning" to do because these concepts and techniques are so unorthodox.

​With this in mind, I've compiled this quick reference guide to some of my most popular techniques for you to use.

Enjoy! And as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions & suggestions. 

Your partner in FearLESS art-making,

​Samantha
