Creative Creations: San Diego Winter 2024

3 painting sessions with Helen Shafer Garcia at Fallbrook School Of The Arts.  Her style is wild and free and uninhibited.








5 classes with Gabriel Stockton at Art On 30th.  Many great tips from a local pro with a studio in Spanish Village.






Paint Out at Liberty Station with SDWS and Shuang Li.  My second time learning from her.





And, of course, pottery (and glass) with Celeste twice a week!  What a blessing.  This time: glazes, raku and obvara!  So fun!!  She really is a genius!






















2 glass pieces this time!





I can’t tell you what art has done for my mental health.  It’s been amazing learning all these new things.  And, over the winter, I applied for 2 art residencies for this summer….and got them!  I’m so excited!  I’m going to one near Nanton, Alberta in June and one in Fort Qu’Appelle in August to spend a week in each place painting.  How lucky am I?
