What moves you? Collections of words, pieces of nature, colors that you just cannot get enough of, songs that won’t leave your thoughts, and all the little things in-between? Life is full of beautiful, simple pleasures, that inspire us daily, if and when we stop to look. I love to combine these pleasures into my work as best as I can. Allowing the observer to feel as if they are reading a poem, listening to a song, and a part of nature all at once, just while looking at a piece of art. In this class we will be creating a piece of art such as this. A piece of art that pulls you in and lets you walk around, exploring yourself and the world of the creator. We will be working freely, on watercolor paper, adding your favorite paint colors, transfers with gel medium, images, more paint, layers upon layers, inks, stamps, more paint, more images, text, and whatever fits. Once the piece is finished we will mount it onto old book covers with fabric and tacks, to create the perfect work of art to hang on your wall. Come spend the day with me, to let loose and explore the unexpected from withinside out.
Misty Mawn is a down-to-earth artist, loving the journey of life and living her dreams. She has been an artist since she could walk, always feeling a strong urge to be creating with whatever it is in front of her. When she is not covered in paint and singing aloud in her studio, she most likely can be found amusing her two young children, creating in the kitchen, or looking for treasures at the beach. She studied studio art at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA with a focus on ceramics. After many years of being a studio potter she felt the need to explore new mediums and venture out to the unknown. She has fallen madly in love with painting and creating with a variety of mediums.
