This workshop is all about impact and play! Lauren will guide you
through creating a 36x36 abstract painting using your favorite colors.
She will discuss color mixing, mark making, layering, composition and
common tools to create expressive, impactful abstract paintings. No
experience necessary, and no drawing required - we are focusing on color
and expressive marks! We will complete one painting during class.
Canvases and tools are supplied but see the additional supply list
below.
Instructor’s name:
With a background in
silk dyeing, Oklahoma City based artist, Lauren Florence, turned to
acrylics and canvas after the birth of her son. With the same vibrant
colors she used on silk, her paintings now have form in vibrant,
realistic expressionism. Her subject matter is inspired by a deep love
of the people and wildlife of Oklahoma and the American West. Lauren has
a BFA in Textile Design from the University of Kansas.
Lauren began showing her work in the summer of 2017 with a solo
show at Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Refuge. She now teaches workshops
at North Gallery in North Park Mall in Oklahoma City, and teaches
mini-workshops at Oklahoma City area businesses through the Allied Arts
Corporate Giving Campaign each spring.
