Abstraction as Form: Seeing Abstractly with Sky Power

In abstract art we find and create our own structures. This workshop will focus on composition, spacial and color relationships, process, techniques, and developing inner trust. Class discussions emphasizing the compositional relationships of abstract and representational art will help the representational painter make the leap into abstract art. Familiarity with the use of acrylic or oil paints is the only experience required. We will work on several paintings at the same time over a two day period.

Sky Power is an abstract and figurative painter, printmaker, piano tuner, and woodworker. Active in the arts since childhood, Sky studied figure drawing with Ed Gothberg at Casper College in Wyoming, and continued her studies in fine art with Dale Owen at Cornish School of Allied Arts in Seattle, Washington, in the early seventies. An exhibiting artist since 1974, Sky has shown her work in galleries in Provincetown, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Her work is currently represented by the Berta Walker Gallery.
