The Contemporary/Modern Mixed Medium Class will be taught by Suzanne Patton.  This existing class is composed of new students as well as seasoned artists who will benefit from the variety of experience Suzanne brings.  Guiding students into the areas of free expression in various types of materials and paints, she will encourage total creativity with oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors and washes on various surfaces, utilizing collage materials.  A relaxed setting where students encourage one another, while working individually, will allow much of success as they experiment with new, fresh concepts of art.  Suzanne brings experience in everything from soft realism to total non-objective works, and will offer advice and encouragement to all, no matter what their background or level of accomplishment.
