FEATURED ARTIST'S - 'ARTIFY'
When: Wednesday May 1, 2013
Patty Chapman , is an encaustic artist, who paints with crayola crayons, a small iron, and a heated pen. Patty discovered this Medium two years ago and has done hundreds of paintings from 4"x 6" to 2' x 3'. "I have fallen in love with this medium. I most especially love teaching this beautiful art form to eager students. The most delightful thing about this wonderful medium is, it's affordability. I have discovered that to be complete, I need to be creating! I have found that this is true for everyone! This medium is completely success driven, and anyone can create beautiful one of a kind artwork! I have discovered in this medium, more magic and incredible healing than I ever imaged. I have an Art instruction Business called Waxdreams. We do home Art instructions Parties, for tweens on up to amazing Redhatters! Visit www.waxdreams.com and sign up for the free Painting Draw!
