SHARON WILLIAMS

SHARON WILLIAMS, AFCA, ACA, is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, and the Alberta Society of Artists and she is a member of the Burns Visual Arts Society. Sharon's paintings reflect her interest in surface texture and color. Her work is eclectic and varied and the viewer is drawn in to investigate the subtle layer of hidden meaning in her work. A popular Alberta artist and teacher, she has had several solo shows and is represented by several galleries: Arts on Atlantic, Calgary; Elevation Gallery, Canmore; Centre D'Arts Visuels, Edmonton; Leighton Art Centre, Calgary; and Art & Soul Gallery, High River. She has also won several awards for her work, including the Award of Excellence in the Spillsbury Medal Show with the Federation of Canadian Artists, and she has been the featured artist in several printed publications in the last years.

CREATIVE MIXED MEDIA/COLLAGE is for painters with some previous experience as well as those with more experience. Each student will be challenged at their own level, with a lot of individual attention given. During this workshop we will leave "safe" behind and learn to stretch our creative muscles. We will be working with acrylic paint and collage to build up the painting surface, but will add other media when needed to get the desired results. These include the possible use of inks, crayons, stamps, or anything else the work needs. We will be working from chaos, developing the design or idea as the painting demands. Good design is a learned thing rather than a formula, and flows from experience.

The main question to be explored in this workshop is "What would happen if......" We will be encouraged to try ideas and then to respond to what happens on the work. This class has an emphasis on fun, with many mini-demos and plenty of time to play. We will learn so much more than we thought possible with this approach. We will take our art to new heights and let our creativity soar!

This workshop will be held at the upper level of the Ramsay Community Centre, 1136 - 8 Street SE, in Calgary .
