Haaaapy New Year! Lots of news & reminders…

Happy New Year! We've been working furiously behind the scenes to get my class page up and running. Well, let me clarify that. My husband has been working furiously…doing custom programming to make his artist wife happy. I will keep you updated…won't be long now and my classes will be up.

Local Class Info! Join Me for a Class!

The new book arts & stamping store, The Occasional Artist, in downtown Glendale will have its Grand opening on Saturday, January 7th. I will be in the store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. doing demos with Pan Pastels…come and say hi!

By popular demand I am teaching my Introduction to Art Journaling class at The Occasional Artist on Saturday, January 21st from 10:30 am. to 1:30 p.m. Call the store (623.847.2215) to sign up. Please bring with you white acrylic gesso, paintbrushes, and acrylic paint. We'll be working on watercolor paper, but if you'd like to work in a journal, feel free to bring one. We'll cover making a simple background, adding images and layering with spray inks, and adding top texture and color. Join me!

21 Secrets Registration is Open!

Don't forget that registration for 21 Secrets starts today! There are some great artists participating…what a great gift to give yourself for the new year.
