I have missed many things over the last year, but teaching in person workshops ranks at the top of the list. Two workshops are now scheduled for 2021 at Santa Fe Artist Getaway and I look forward to sharing experiences and working with artists in person again.

AUGUST 9 - 14, 2021

ADVANCED 5 DAY INTENSIVE PAINTING

This is a hybrid Independent Study and Curriculum based course designed for artists comfortable with working independently and with an existing practice and knowledge of abstract painting methods.

• Days 1 & 2 will include morning exercises demos and discussions with afternoons devoted to painting.

• Days 3 thru 5 are devoted to all-day painting.

Guided exercises will spark new approaches to abstraction as artists experiment with process and materials, observe instructor demonstrations, and participate in instructor/peer collaboration and critiques.

Working independently and one-on-one with Krista, the focus is on professional development of your creative practice and challenges you to deepen your understanding of your work and your goals. The course is limited to 10 students. The two studios at Santa Fe Artists Getaway allocate generous workspaces for each artist to work on multiple and large-scale paintings.

Meet & Greet: Monday, August 9 / 3:30pm - 5:30pm
Please plan to attend this. We'll have round table introductions and artists will be able to unload supplies and set up their stations.

Workshop Days: Tuesday, August 10 - Saturday, August 14

The studio will be open from 8am to 7pm for those wishing to work early or late.

SEPTEMBER 13 - 18, 2021

5 DAY INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION

This is an Assisted Independent Study Workshop, designed for artists of all approaches with extensive experience and deeply devoted practices.

Artists will pursue their own body of work over the course of the 5 days. Personal guidance and one-on-one discussions will take place daily with Krista. Directed group discourse and discussion, peer interaction, informal demonstrations on technique, materials, color and composition will be interwoven throughout the workshop, but the focus is on allowing time to delve deeply into your work.

A portfolio review and interview will be required prior to acceptance.
