Hello everyone!
I have great news to share with you. I will be beginning 2 art classes starting the second week of March, and this same month, Art Elements Gallery will be hanging up my first show in over a year!
Let me begin with my new art classes! I have been honored to be accepted as one of the professional artists teaching workshops through the Chehalem Cultural Center here in Newberg, Oregon. Here are the classes I will be teaching:
Watercolor (Beginning and Intermediate)
4 Week Class: Mar. 10th, 17th, 31st, and Apr.7th (there will be a one week break in the middle of the 4 week series on Mar. 24th)
Wednesdays 12:30pm - 2:00pm
Drawing (Beginning and Intermediate)
4 Week Class: Mar. 9th,16th,30th, and Apr.6th (there will be a one week break in the middle of the 4 week series on Mar. 23th)
Tuesdays 6:00pm - 7:30pm
If you are interested in signing up for this class, don't delay! Because of this small class size, we could be filling up the spots quickly. You can sign up through the Chehalem Cultural Center here at: https://www.chehalemculturalcenter.org/adult
We will be using all of the Covid-19 safety precautions and will have small classes of 8 people maximum in a nice large classroom. And of course, masks will be required.
After a year of so much creating happening in solitude, I am so excited to make artwork with you! Please send me an email if you have any questions.
March 9th through April 24th I will be showing my paintings I have created in this last year at Art Elements Gallery! This was my most prolific year of painting to date, creating more than 50 works. In this show, called "Creations In Solitude," I will be displaying some of my most favorite paintings from this new body of work. I am so excited to share with you what I have been up to!
(Here is a sneak peak at a couple of my new paintings!)
As you may have noticed, it has been a while since I have been able to write to you all! I have been able to keep myself busy in this year of pandemic by painting. gardening, and planning my new classes. But may I just say this, I have missed you! I have missed getting to participate in shows, teach, and talk with you about art and life. With the new art show, the classes, and springtime coming our way, I am full of hope for the future!
All the best to you,
Christine Joy
