Art Workshops in 2009





In February I had the opportunity to facilitate a 2 hour workshop for a smal group of women who had experienced domestic violence. The session allowed participants to explore mixed media techniques and culminated with the oportunity to paint on silk and create some "wearable art".

In March and April I facilitated four Art workshops for Carer Support and Respite Centre RAW ENERGY. The participants were children betwen the ages of 7 and 12.
The photographs below capture some of the art activities that the children took part in.

Frida



This painting was inspired by the life and works of Frida Kahlo who I have been reading about the last month or so. It is a textured work using drawings with ink and collage. It was completed a couple of days ago.
this painting is available for sale. POA.
