Lisa Bagshaw - May featured artist

Lisa Bagshaw, May Featured Artist

 

I have always been interested in art. In Marblehead, the coastal town north of Boston where I grew up, I took a variety of art classes. My parents were always supportive of my creations. My favorite class in high school was art, so I majored in art in college and received a BFA from The University of Hartford in Connecticut.

 

After graduation, a friend and I drove cross country to Newport Beach, California, where I was lucky enough to meet my husband, Mark. We’ve been married for 38 years and have two amazing daughters, Shayna and Calli.

 

We lived in Plano, Texas in my twenties and thirties, where I taught preschool and kindergarten and eventually opened up a small preschool called Fun with Friends in Texas. I loved incorporating art projects into the daily plans and watching the kids create!

The May challenge is "Desert Delights." So pick up those pencils and paintbrushes and think about what you see out your windows, when you hike. of something that catches your eye in these hot months. Submissions are brought to the Coyote Room prior to the start of the meeting and judged by members of the board. Submissions are accepted in any medium and they need not be framed.

 

Be part of the final Summer Workshop!


Aug. 15: Abstract Painting - Atmospheric Landscapes by Andy Morris  In the third summer workshop you will learn how you can create stunning abstract paintings in the atmospheric landscape style. The instructor calls them that because they only imply a landscape and don’t describe it in detail. They are meant as abstract works of art to capture the overall feeling of a scene, and they remind him of mountains and canyons.
