Join me and Bay Area artists, Carl Heyward and Akiko Suzuki for a transformative 3-day workshop in my Santa Fe studio. Fragments and Foundations II is a deep dive into the expressive and richly layered world of mixed media collage.

Through hands-on demonstrations, individual guidance, shared dialogue and plenty of studio time, you’ll explore:

• The difference between mixed media and collage—and how they overlap

• Choosing and preparing surfaces and adhesives

• Creating and sourcing dynamic collage papers

• Incorporating mark making and paint

• Strategies for starting, composing, and finishing a piece

• Through the intersection of paint, collage and fiber, focusing on translating ideas from smaller works onto larger, more complex surfaces

• Cultivating a personal approach to mixed media, developing your authentic voice in this medium

While the components of mixed media :  painting / collage / assemblage / fiber works ( or textile works ) are or can be independent autonomous genres we encourage their intersection and co-mingling via the specialized skills  of the 3 instructors who navigate into true mixed-media works  seamlessly creating balanced vibrant art.
