I am excited to be offering a full-day workshop at The Root Studio in beautiful Perth, ON. In this specialty workshop we will focus on creating a unique and personalized portrait of a loved one using mixed-media and collage techniques. 

Explore your creativity through a series of experiments and exercises using acrylic paint, drawing materials, paper, and photographs. The process will be broken down into steps, exploring elements such as; style, colour and theme. The theme will act as a guide which will bring personal meaning to the work, creating a thoughtful and one of a kind piece of art. A special keepsake or beautiful gift in time for the holidays.

This is a process based workshop and we will work toward a completed piece, however the emphasis will be on exploration, experimenting and personal expression. There will be a limited number of participants creating a intimate setting and allowing time for group discussion and one on one instruction.
