Artist Discovery Workshop: This is an all-day workshop where monotype is introduced, in combination with other media, as a means of creating exciting new concepts for your paintings.  During the morning hours students will make monotypes, using a variety of papers, inks and paint.  Then in the afternoon they will go back to the prints and isolate portions of them to be used as the basis for completing compositions by adding other media such as watercolor, oil, acrylic and pastel.

As an artist, Colleen Parker describes herself as a "perpetual explorer".  Not only is she interested in exploring the designs and patterns of nature, but also in pushing her artistic experiments to the limit, always seeking new forms of expression.  Her working in a variety of media, often with an unusual approach, brings excitement and spontaneity to her art.

Parker works in both miniature and large formats, incorporating drawing, printmaking, collage and painting, either singly or in combination.  Perhaps her most well known work is pastel over monotype, a unique approach she has developed which combines abstract and representational art.  She was featured in the July, 1988 issue of THE ARTIST'S MAGAZINE, where this technique was discussed.

Although she received formal training at Brigham Young University, Iowa State University and the Art Institute of Chicago, working independently with various experimental techniques has been the major contributor to her development as an artist.  Parker's work has been widely shown both locally and across the country, garnering major awards in juried regional, national and international exhibits

Drawing for Fun and Accuracy:  A workshop for beginning and intermediate students.  The ability to accurately depict what our eyes see, “drawing”, is considered an essential  prerequisite  skill to nearly all other forms of  Art.

 Accurately drawing what you see is a wonderful  accomplishment for anyone to achieve, and a skill that everyone, (with enough effort), can easily learn.

This class will; for beginners, be addressing the fundamentals of drawing i.e., drawing familiar everyday objects that teach the geometric qualities of most shapes.

 And for;  Intermediate artists,   reaffirm some of the basic geometric concepts while stressing accuracy, form, and quality of application or drawing.

Instructor will attempt to have each student move forward at their own pace of learning in both the beginner and intermediate skill levels.

The instructor hopes to make “having fun while drawing” a goal of this entire learning process
