This workshop format mimics the atmosphere and mindset of a graduate school fine art studio. Artists develop an individual "contract" or mission statement outlining areas and issues to explore during the session. These contracts are shared at the outset in an opening interactive roundtable discussion. Each artist is then allocated a generous amount of wall space to set up their own work area in which they work on their contract in consultation with Steve. Group discussions--small group and full group, formal and informal--occur throughout the session, fostering a sense of cooperation and community. Artist statements are shared, discussed, and revised. The workshop ends in a final interactive critique in which each artist's contract is reviewed, and in which participants share discoveries and revelations.

Above: artist-participants Diana Gilson (left) and Hilary Gross (right) at work. Explore a wide variety of ways to abstract from a visible reference. Whenever you work from the experience of a visible, external source, you inevitably select, distill, arrange, and alter the visual forces you find at your disposal. In this workshop, you'll look at a broad range of possibilities taken from art history and contemporary art. After taking part in shared challenges, you’ll be encouraged to explore individual approaches. The premise of the workshop: you, the artist, are a unique filter through which experiences of the landscape are processed to produce a new visual reality that is uniquely and expressively your own. Each day ends in interactive group critique. Not media or technique specific. While the majority of hands-on challenges are executed in painting and drawing media, this workshop is neither media not technique specific, and no technical expertise is required. Features regular interactive discussion and critique.
