Kristin Peterson is a third generation artist, originally from South Dakota. Kristin’s creative passion is inspired and supported by her husband and kids, all whom encourage, critique, and promote her work.

Kristin is always exploring and expanding the creative depths of being an artist. She very much enjoys vintage collage work and mixed media. Kristin loves color and things that have a love-worn comfortable feeling-like an old favorite pair of jeans-coffee stained, patched, painted and well loved. She wants her art to project feeling and make people feel good while looking at it. Her style contains vibrance mixed with a little funk, which is sprinkled with discreet sensibility.

Tiffany is just a country girl living on the coast of Alabama with her husband, she is happiest with paint on her hands and usually in her hair. She’s a free spirit with a love for exploring and creating messy art. She’s been called a rule breaker and mess maker before who uses art as a stress reliever. I find people are so critical of themselves and their work, life isn’t perfect so why should art be? She tries to empower artist to let go and explore their own messy wild child. When not in her studio you can find her out playing with her dogs and chickens or sitting on the beach. Travel is a huge inspiration for her and she loves to run away on cruises to the Caribbean whenever possible.

• Create value studies to work on contrast in their work
• Learn how and when to use a variety of mixed media gel and acrylic mediums in their work.
• Create work that doesn’t have a subject matter but evokes a feeling or experience of the artist’s choice. Use your brush as your voice, your canvas as your stage as you learn to entertain the viewer in the way only YOU can through abstract art.
• Be guided by the instructor in a gentle and nurturing way.
• Participate in robust discussions about art and the creative life.
• Let loose and connect with other like-minded fellow artists!
