My Zentangle

Artist Ria Russo conducted a hands on workshop on the art of Zentangle. It is a method of doodling with specific rules.

Create a Monster!

This mixed media piece was created during an art education national convention in 2000. To participate I had to visit a group of art supply vendors and use designated supplies. When I finished I went back the booth where my journey began. The reps at the booth asked to hang up my work.

While sorting through some papers, I finally located a group of collages from an Abstract Painting class from Metairie Park Country Day's "The Colony." This is one of eight collages I made under the instruction by Karen Stasny.

Concentric Circles

At a National Art Education Association Convention in Boston in 2004, I attended an “Ice Cream Party” sponsored by Stafford. Around the room there were tables designated for using Stafford products to create art projects. Below is what I made with a coffee filter, Sharpie markers and paint pens. Naturally I gravitated to making a dot piece.

Convention Center

At a National Art Education Association Convention in Boston in 2004, I attended an “Ice Cream Party” sponsored by Stafford. Around the room there were tables designated for using Stafford products to create art projects. Below is what I made using Nu Pastels on top of map images and an illustration of the convention center. I had not used Nu Pastels with water before.
