If you prefer a shorted lunch you may also use the studio to contunue drawing during this time. 2 - 4pm In this session, students will turn their attention to tone as a structural and expressive tool. We’ll explore how tonal relationships can build the figure, dissolve it, or push it toward abstraction. Exercises will encourage simplifying values, grouping shapes, and making decisive tonal statements that move beyond description toward interpretation. students will consider how abstraction can reveal a deeper understanding of form and presence.

She has showcased her work internationally, including exhibitions in Europe and the US.
