Sometimes it’s really annoying seeing all the exciting things going on overseas and not being able to access the info, materials or workshops you might need to get you going.
Last year when I was looking for interesting art goings-on in Southern California, I met artist Chris Cozen. The timing was wrong to attend any of her workshops, but I wound up catching her at her studio for a visit between her teaching gigs. She was astoundingly generous, showing me examples of her artwork and delivering an inspiring mini-tutorial with her arsenal of Golden acrylic media, complete with a bag o’ swag.
I’m still playing with the goodies, have bought more, and am processing the inspiration I picked up during my visit. Well, I’ve just discovered that Chris is now teaching online workshops with her collaborator Julie Pritchard. If you’re interested in collage, transfer, layering and colour, have a look — this is a great way to narrow the international knowledge gap!
