Mon March 23

I adore adding text to my work. There is something about text that is intriguing--it draws us in as viewers because we want to read it and decode it. It helps us look closely at a work. As artists, text brings many different layers of meaning and expression. Join me while we explore all things text--what to say, ways to create it visually, ways to add it to our artwork.

Instructor will Provide:
