Abstract Ink & Collage invites students to explore the expressive possibilities of ink, paper, and mixed-media processes through abstraction. Using techniques such as intuitive mark-making, layering, texture creation, and collage, participants will experiment with composition, contrast, and visual storytelling while developing a personal visual language. Emphasis is placed on process, discovery, and creative risk-taking rather than technical perfection.
Designed for artists of all experience levels, this class combines demonstrations and in class projects with plenty of room for exploring your own personal style and artistic identity. Students will learn how to integrate ink writing, painted marks, found materials, and collage elements into abstract compositions while building confidence in their creative practice and expanding their approach to contemporary mixed-media art.

Abstract Oils with Cold Wax Medium and Mixed Media
Discover a new creative medium when you combine the classic, rich surfaces of oil painting with the translucent depth and varied textures of cold wax. Exploring these mediums along with acrylic, charcoal, pastels, and ink, including collage, we experiment, discover and learn new ways to give expression to our inner landscape of forms and color.

Discover your own creative language and use it to develop your artistic practice. In this class we will use multiple mediums and learn new techniques to push ourselves in exploring self-expression. This class is perfect for someone who has taken abstract art classes before and is wondering "What next?". We will combine mediums: watercolor, acrylic, collage, pencil, oil pastel, and ink. We will explore the use of symbols, written words, texture, drawing and the use of representational images. The goal of this class is to access ourselves as a source for expression; to find an abstract narrative that resonates with you. 2D abstract class experience is helpful.
