In this workshop, you will learn the art of letting go and embracing creative experimentation.

Students will be asked to consider their own personal symbols, mantras or totems.  We'll begin the workshop sketching out our designs and then move to paint them.  If you work fast, you may even get a chance to do more than one.  Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! 

A long time ago, probably soon after humans learned to hunt, we began painting.  Lad Decker will talk about why she loves one of the world's oldest media, and why she chooses to paint in a world surrounded by digital media and graphic design software.

Local Painter & Sculptor Fred Lisaius taught this painting workshop which utilized wood panels, acrylic paint & some unorthodox painting techniques to create portraits of endangered animals.
