Teaching Art Summer Camp at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, June 5-9

Been a while since I’ve posted something.  I will catch you all up on what’s been going on soon enough, but let’s begin with this…

I will be teaching summer camp again June 5-9, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center  in Atlanta, Georgia for one week, and one week only!

The Callanwolde’s youth summer camp art program is called Kaleidoscope Camp.  Participants will rotate between four teachers, each with their own focus.  I will be instructing mixed-media ages 6 – 12.  We will dabble in drawing, sculpture and a group installation project.  Enjoy a few images from last year’s class!

Hand-Painted Craft Pumpkins for Auction now!

Here it is, the last pumpkin I have created for my daughter’s annual Halloween school carnival fundraiser.  In this spirit of my latin heritage… Dia de Los Muertos.  For info on how you can purchase or bid on this or my other pumpkins (see them here), contact me directly.  Happy Halloween!

Hand-painted craft pumpkin fundraiser!

Here are this year’s hand-painted, craft pumpkins fresh out of the patch… er… off the easel!  They are for sale at my daughter’s elementary school annual Halloween carnival fundraiser.  We are big sci-fi fantasy fans here in our household, as you can tell from my pumpkin themes.  We are ringing in the holiday of magic, spooks and the supernatural with homage to Hogwarts as we await the release of two new movies from the wizarding world of Harry Potter coming out this fall!  And what is Halloween without ghosts… I know I ain’t afraid of no ghost!  Finally, for those who know me well, keep on the look out for the third and final pumpkin still primping on my work bench… something to celebrate with a latin flair!

Each pumpkin is a signed, one-of-a-kind, hand-painted original created using acrylic and oil-based paints.  The Ghostbusters pumpkin glows in the dark… Oooh!  Contact me for purchase info and a link to view even more pumpkins decorated by fellow artist moms in my community.  All proceeds go to benefit our elementary school.  Happy Halloween!

Many new things underway in the studio… stay tuned for Holiday events and artwork for sale!

Some Houses Sprout Roots

For the last week, I have been showcasing paintings from a series I started a few years ago regarding the idea of home.  The pieces are small and made with mixed media.  Each is unique.  Mother’s Day is coming up… these are available for purchase either by contacting me here on my blog or through my Etsy site.  Need I say more?  Enjoy!

Sweet, little, original, watercolor painting on paper exploring the idea of home. I started these paintings two years ago when my daughter entered kindergarten. They punctuate my movement from full-time motherhood to regaining significant time in the studio. These quiet, little gems offered me company in the form of contemplation. Each piece is an original, unique, one-of-a-kind with artist signature.
