I taught my "Painted Face Canvas" class here at CREATE on Thursday night.  I was prodigiously proud of the artwork that my twenty-one students created:

All
Cool, funky, unique, and wonderful pieces of art! And I thought it was cool to see how many people sort of resembled their art!

Students-sm
Each one is unique and funky and fun! It was a great group of women — warm and enthusiastic — and that always makes it all worthwhile!

I'll be back soon with photos from the Student Showcase.  So much gorgeous art!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • AHHH! my picture is up here – how great!
    I had such a great time in your class. I work on the computer doing design all day and have not worked with my hands creating art for myself in a long time. I was nervous at the beginning of your class but you put me right at ease. You are a great teacher – thank you!
