Class Was Fun...

My class this week at the Belmar Arts Council went well. It was a very intimate group that joined me to try their hand at freeform collage using their own personal photos, mementos and ephemera. Since they were mostly fine artists, it was fun to see how they interpreted this mixed media girl's techniques. Everyone did a great job!

Pictured above is Sandy Taylor, the BAC volunteer who talked me into doing the class. She is intently working on her Belmar-themed piece. It came along very nicely. Thanks Sandy!

Collage Class at the Belmar Arts Council...

Next Tuesday, July 7th I'll be teaching a class at the local Belmar Arts Council on how to create a finished collage-style piece using your own collection of photos, mementos, ephemera and souvenirs. It's a great way to turn your collected treasures into a piece of art. So, all you locals... if you are interested, you can contact the BAC at 732-749-3360. The class is only $15 and there's still room!

Tabletop Dedication Party...

So here I am toasting my finished pink table with pink champagne! A few months ago, I was one of 12 artists who had their round canvas selected to become a permanent tabletop for the Belmar Arts Council.

Belmar Arts Council Meeting

I went to my first monthly Belmar Arts Council Meeting tonight. They had a review of upcoming events and a poetry reading by Barbara Truncellito. Pictured here is the most recently painted side of the Belmar Arts Council building. Pretty cool, huh? I love the 3-D crab at the top!
