Demonstration at Art Focus Artist's Association

This past week I came and gave a two hour mixed media abstract painting demonstration with Art Focus Coquitlam Artist Association.

There were a number of people who helped make this super fun event possible. I want to give a big warm thank you to Helen Ramsay for setting up the connection to this wonderful community oriented group of artists; Art Focus Port Coquitlam. Thank you Helen.

Thank you Christine Malone for organizing having me speak and present the demonstration.

Thank you Marylin for sharing with me about the past 25 years of this group and all the amazing activities and endeavors you all do!

Thank you Debbie, Sandi, and Sherry and all the other participants that made coming to your group feel warm and fun! (Sandi, I am totally remembering your name now !!!).

Big huge thank you for my friend Teya who came to support me and took all the photographs in this blog, I am so grateful for your support Teya, thank YOU!.

For the demonstration I showed mixed media techniques in layers. Each attendant received a handout with the main take-aways from my lessons.

We also talked about cool things you can make with art that doesn't work out. As well as fun conversations that got personal, passionate, and that I hope will stay in the room where they were held!

I honestly had so much fun and felt so well received and appreciated, thank you Art Focus Port Coquitlam!

Check out the mirror - super cool - so you can see the little paintings I was working on.
