expressive blossoms

This is my painting of the secret garden, in a hand-bound art journal, my favorite place to make art.  Lots of color, fun shapes, mark making and layers of expression.

Welcome to a re-cap of The Secret Garden, an art class I taught at Bemis for little creatives in 2018.  The class is inspired by the classic book, The Secret Garden by Frances Burnett.  This summer, 2020 I am teaching it again with a few tweaks, namely it is going to be a virtual class taught online and I can’t wait to meet my new class

.  Thanks for stopping by and take a look below at the amazing art created by my students a couple of years ago.

A peek through the keyhole into the secret garden…

On the last day of class we had a tea party in the courtyard at The Fine Arts Center, it was magical.  Since we are going to be working together online, our tea party will be virtual!

We had so much fun making colorful art, learning new techniques, and being together!
