23 Sept – 02 October – Andrea Garvey
3 ROOMS LEFT I really believe we are ALL creative in some way. I think it’s our superpower, our special cape we wear, and wow has it helped me throughout the years. My art style is spontaneous and intuitive, and through my courses, I will take you every step of the way so you can follow along and apply these techniques to your work.
It’s all about fun and play, and I am always your biggest cheerleader. I love watching my students shine a light on their creativity.
07 – 16 October – Donna Downey
Empowering artists to take the creative risk.
I’m on a creative journey, constantly surprised by what unfolds on my canvas. I’m deeply drawn to painting the human figure, exploring its emotional vulnerability in everyday life. My work reflects the impermanence of existence, using bold strokes and unfinished lines.
21 – 30 October – Samantha Williams Chapelsky
Abstract landscape painter. International instructor and lecturer.
“I produce large scale abstracted landscapes with a focus on the materiality of the paint to allude to emotion and feeling within the natural space.”
