Working with Mix Media

Deep Blue, Mix Media on 12"x12" canvas
























Hello Friends,

I've been really enjoying creating mix media artwork.  My creativity is unleashed as I consider not only the type of paints and ink I would like to use, but papers, plastics, natural objects, and anything that could add texture, color, and that Je nais se quoi factor.

The artwork is really varied too. From simple child like artwork, to collage, to abstract.  My imagination is the limit.  It's just really fun.  Once I have 30 pieces of artwork I will do an online auction to raise funds for the Boldly Creating Life Foundation. This foundation brings art back into the classrooms of public elementary school that do not currently have an art program.  It is hard to believe but our kids nowadays are going from kindergarten to 5th grade without a single art class!

If we can offer just one class to a child who has not been exposed to art, we are really providing for them a doorway to his/her imagination and creativity.  A single class could be all that is needed, to show a child that there is a world of art ready to be discovered.

You can help us by purchasing one of the artwork pieces sold at this website.  For more information on the foundation please go to http://www.bclf.org.

With Love,
Glad
