Abstract Florals

using painted papers

January 19-21, 2024

Lakeland, Florida

Join me and see how I use my painted papers to create abstract floral paintings. Do you want to learn to loosen up your painting style? Have you been wanting to learn more about composition and color theory? Want to further explore print making?

Join me in January for a new Art-ish Creative Retreat, Abstract Florals.

 

Wonderful as always, the attention to detail to ensure our comfort is amazing.

Three days of art and fun

For 2024, I am bringing you a new retreat experience. One of the most frequently asked questions about print making is “What do you do with it?”. I’m ready to share one of my favorite ways to use printed papers and fabrics, abstract paintings. We will focus on floals, but the basics apply to all of our paintings. Will you join me?

 

Mary is a wonderful teacher and so approachable. So giving of herself and sharing ideas and examples of earlier art. Truly a joy to experience one of her classes.
