I still am processing my time spent with Susan Shie as her first Alumni (Independent Study) Art Camper. It was truly what I needed. I was able to work in my own style with what techniques I wanted to express my own ideas. She was a wonderful facilitator and guide who asked me the hard questions along the way. While I've learned a great deal of techniques in classes that I've taken I am not content in classes where the students create artwork with the purpose of making a replica of the teachers pieces. Techniques are learned, artistry is not. By exploring my own style, growth occurs like no other time.Try doing something in your own style - be an artist!
I'm still finishing up my piece, have taken a break from it for a couple of days to meet a deadline for a show.

| Our accomplishments for the week! The pieces on the right are Susan's and I do believe the top one, "Twilight Time" is one of my very favorites of hers. |

Currently I'm working on a piece for a show commemorating the anniversary of 9/11 with the Fiber Artists For Hope. Each piece in the show is 9" X 11", will be exhibited in Chicago over 9.11.2011. Here is the initial drawing.
Back to work after eating some wonderful yumminess from the garden! :)
Hi Juno. I love your drawing for the 911 show! And thanks so much for blogging about your camp here. I think we both got a lot done, and I really loved seeing you work your biggest yet, discussing what you were up to with me, as you went. Thanks again, and good luck with all your Summer art plans! Lucky
