This three-day workshop is designed specifically for abstract painters to help clarify visual language and bring intentionality to their painting practice. We will make a deep inquiry into what inspires our art through examining contemporary abstract art, informal writing exercises and instructor demos. We’ll traverse the full range of the spectrum from spontaneity to deliberate action and learn to travel back and forth between these polarities. Guided exercises emphasize alternative techniques for paint application, layering line and form, color mixing and composition. We will be asking ourselves, 'what direction do I want to go in my art?' (and attempt to answer).
This is an intermediate level class. All are welcome, however, prior experience with abstraction is recommended.
Per the Instructors request masks will be required in this workshop

Zoe’s abstract painting springs from her lifelong fascination with mid-century art and design, Abstract Expressionism, The New York School painters and the historic influences which shifted the locus of the international art scene from Nazi occupied Europe to New York following WWII.
Teaching has become an integral part of her art practice.
