Personal Creativity Workshop

Magazine Collage, 10" x 18"

When I arrived at Cayen's Personal Creativity Workshop on Saturday, she handed me an odd-sized piece of paper and told me to take risks. Before this, I always worked with images in my collages that made sense to me. In this collage, I was still drawn to my images, but I also explored pastels in the background. I also worked with images that I don't necessarily like, which served color fields of reds and golds to complement the bold black and white stripes of the zebras.

Monoprinting Workshop at OHCA

I took the monoprinting workshop at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts yesterday. The group meets on the first Sunday of every month. Cayen Robertson showed us many ways to work with monoprints including 1)direct drawing, 2) subtractive, and 3) additive techniques. I went wild with creating collages with monoprints and cover photos from old National Geographic magazines. In 1988, lemurs were on the edge of survival. I wonder how they are doing today, 22 years later.
