This hand drawn horse head didn't need anything too flash to finish it off ready for it's home on the wall. The customer chose a white frame with a thin black step to create a break between the mat and paper. The silver frame with it traditional shape finishes the artwork perfectly.

Meet the Tutor: Maryika Welter

"Making art is a lifelong apprenticeship; fulfilling, fun and frustrating.

Curiosity drives me to discover the joy and excitement of the creative process, mostly through painting. Often the result is something unexpected or something that may be familiar or impressionistic. Colour, texture, collage and design are all part of the exploration process.

Workshop facilitating is how I get to share information. With a hands-on approach through demonstrating techniques, product knowledge and practical application we can all develop and build skills that support our own individual style. There is so much joy in seeing participants grow and develop their very own visual language.

My Arts background experience and involvements comes from formal education in art colleges, residencies, workshops, judging art shows, community involvement on committees, curator, volunteer work, mental health industry, commercial ventures, cooperatives, public speaking and through exhibiting nationally and internationally.

Join Maryika at her workshop running on the 23rd November. You will learn how to make cards with a Gelli Plate and various sources or colour and texture. Have a day to yourself, or bring a friend; it will be a classroom full of good times!

Meet the Tutor: Jenny Kelly

Jenni was born in Kerang, Victoria and lived and was educated in Bendigo, where her interest in painting began while viewing the great Australian masters at the Bendigo Regional Art Gallery. Thus started a life long love affair of viewing galleries Australia wide. After marriage and family and living in such places as Mackay, Isisford, Cardwell, Augathella, and Clifton she continued to do some painting and was a member of The Flying Art School for many years, travelling hundreds of kilometres to designated centres.

Jenni is self-taught and is constantly improving her skills by attending other artist’s workshops. These include McGregor Summer School in Toowoomba, Mitchell Summer School in Bathurst and Clifton Art workshops. She achieves a realistic expression in her creative freestyle painting leaving the viewer free to exercise their own imagination.

These paintings have an appealing sense of colour, freedom, and movement with subjects close to nature. Twenty-one Pieces of Jenni’s paintings are hanging throughout the Holy Spirit Hospital at Chermside Brisbane.

Jenny will be teaching a Funtastic Acrylics workshop on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd November in the MyArt Studio. Spaces are limited so if you would like to learn from this wonderful tutor, book in soon!
