Ella Sharp Museum- Jackson, MI

My piece "Locally Grown Still Life " was included in the Ella Sharp Museum's 2010 Statewide Fine Arts Competition which is on display from January 16 through March 20 in Jackson, MI.

This show includes 60 pieces of art selected by juror Richard Rubenfeld, PhD. and Art History professor at Eastern Michigan University. It is a very diverse show with many forms of 3-D, 2-D art in abstract and realistic styles. Several colored pencil pieces were included in this show! This medium is being taken seriously by the art world, and we are lucky to have a very talented group of colored pencil artists here in Michigan.

Colored Pencil Classes

I am busy creating some new lessons for my classes and workshops.

This fall I will be offering colored pencil classes in three locations. Check these sites in September for registration information:

1. The Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson: A new series of 3 all day workshops
2. Brighton Community Education
3. Ann Arbor Community Education and Recreation

Colored pencil is becoming popular and accepted as a fine-art medium. I will be giving demonstrations of techniques and materials used to create beautiful colored pencil paintings. Questions are encouraged and individual attention is generously given.
