Falling for Workshops!

In as much as we love our summertime, our love affair ends with the beginning of Fall.  As the colours of nature begin to unfold with its golden ochre, sunsets and quiet crimsons come the coolness of each day and the onset of getting back into the swing of things.

I am happy to share, that I will be in a few new areas this fall with brand new workshops.  Out in Cobourg, with "'The Painted Tree", I will be introducing a new workshop called Painting your Garden with Acrylics. http://www.thepaintedtree.ca/  This one-day workshop, (Sept. 17th) will teach students to simplify garden composition.

VAC Abstraction class June 2011

The next workshop on Sept. 28th is at the Visual Arts Clarington.  A 4-session, every Wednesday Abstract class!  Now how cool is that!!!?? http://www.vac.ca/  This is all very exciting, because I will be pushing students out of their 'safe-zone' into a brand new looser approach!

My Fall classes at Curry's Artist Materials is already in the Currys website http://www.currys.com/, with Northern Landscapes and so much more!

In October, I am returning back to the Pickering Recreation Centre with Beginner's Acrylic.  And last but not least, 'SweetArt Studio nights' will move from Tuesday to Thursday evenings, where the interaction with fellow artists, great music and love for painting make every evening of painting go by so fast!

And so as the summer closes, take comfort in the sizzle of fall courses to discover!

See you soon!

Be Cre8TV

Guess what? I have a TV show coming up in the fall! Yup!

Last July, was a whirlwind of designing, painting of the set and the taping of 6 episodes for a fall show which is lined up to air at Rogers TV Durham in September. I, together with co-producer and host, Sharon Lindsay will be appearing together in a show called Be Cre8TV. This show is about being creative in our lives!

There are 3 segments in each episode, the first; a Feng Shui segment where I provide valuable information about the practise of Classical Feng Shui. As a certified practitioner with the Feng Shui Research Center and past board member of the Feng Shui Association of Canada, I will be talking about the very basics of Feng Shui and how it can enhance our lives! The second segment; will be with various guests and the third; will be a craft segment - where we will be creating interesting elements for your home!! It was so much fun and I met alot of interesting and creative people. I can't wait to see the show myself! Right now, it is in post production.

I am truly excited about this show and hope that it receives well. Stay tuned to find out when it will be on the air! Or in YouTube?

HUgs,

Marissa
