You will learn many ways of designing your papers and using other materials to enhance your collages. No other medium will give you such a variety of exciting alternatives.

Instructor Bio
Education: Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA – BFA. Attended various workshops including Maxine Masterfield, Ann Baldwin, Joseph Perrine and Ann Bagby. Self-defined as a “decorative expressionism”, I often compare my Art to the Faive school of painting. I’m enticed by other artists and my students. I learn a lot from them. Some of the artists I admire include, Lee Krasner, Jim Dine and Terence LaNove. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of painting methods, mediums and techniques. “I love experimenting and many times it does not turn out the way I thought it would, but I use that result to fuel me in a different direction. As I was in the beginning of my career, I’m eager to keep experimenting and continuing to find myself as an artist. I just love, “to do”, and to teach.
