OCAC Art Camp

This summer I was delighted to teach art to 6-9 year olds. We learned about great artists like Kandinsky andVan Gogh. We did mixed media, collage, tecture painting and photo transfer.
Coolage created by 8 year old Taylor

Collage created by six year old Rhys.

Kandinsky Colour study, each child did 6 squares and we taped them all together to form one large painting. Impressive!!

Abstracted Realism

Mystic Mountain

Inspired by the rockies and a moody sky this very aboriginal looking woman appeared in my painting.

Deep in Thought

This painting was totally intuitive, as I was splashing some colour onto my canvas I saw this face appear.

Mysterious

Once again this face intuitively appeared out of an abstract I woas doing, check out her eye is was a stamp from Africa that I had put inbefore she appeared, the postmark her pupil with the white of the stamp above it. Her hat is enhanced with cheesecloth.








I tried to be abstract!!

Yellowstone Inspirations

These abstract textural paintings where inspired by a trip to Big Sky Montana and Yellowstone National Park. I took over 500 digital photos of the texture of the amazing landscape.

A Tree I Stand

A tree I stand tall, my roots
Firmly planted in my beliefs
Each ring of growth
Another year of wisdom
New branches, spring green
Renewal
My journey continues

This is a piece I recently entered in a show called Chapter and Verse
