When my art pal Staci Swider called from South Carolina to say, "let's teach something fun together!" the wheels in my head started spinning. We've both been playing with patterns in our work and we both have connections in Delaware/Pennsylvania. We both love mixed media and we both are fascinated with textiles. And we both laugh a lot when we're together!
Thus was born a RuleBreaker Art Retreat to the beautiful Brandywine Valley. I'm all pumped up to show off my new hometown of Wilmington, DE and to collaborate with two of my new favorite museums.

Pattern, Paint and Paper!
| Our workshop begins in the studios and galleries of the Delaware Art Museum. We will get a special curator-led tour of the newly installed Pre-Raphaelite collection, taking inspiration from Arts and Crafts design motifs.  "Mary Magdalene" by British painter Frederick Sandys, c. 1859, at The Delaware Art Museum | Day two inspiration features a unique "behind the scenes" tour of world-famous Winterthur Museum, the former home and collection of Henry Francis du Pont. We will pay special attention to historic wallpaper, porcelain and fabric designs that we will use in making our own relief stamps for collage paper.  An incredible "Tree of Life" bedspread and curtains in the Cecil Bedroom on the 7th floor of Winterthur Museum |
Between VIP tours, Staci and I will lead students in mixed media mischief! Studios will be open for working all day so we can make some lucious layered compositions. It's going to be such a creative & wonderful weekend - I hope you will join me, November 5-7 in Wilmington!
