Puentes La Escuela

The Bridges School

Bridges, B Mujer Turtle MainLocated in the Penthouse Suite at Quinta Camelinas, we had great fun in 2016 and 2017 making art in my studio.

Join us in 2018.  First Event:  Sailfest T-Shirt Workshop

People seemed really interested in creating and being a 40 year veteran art teacher…it certainly was soulful.  I am formalizing my little operation which will be called  Puentes  La Escuela (The Bridges School). I have truly found my winter home in Zihua.  I am excited to announce that I will be Artist-in-Residence at Quinta Camelinas starting on January 21 – April 1, 2017.   This means that visitors are welcome to visit my studio and I will have a free (only supply fee) open studio once a week by appointment for Quinta guests. I will also be available to host open workshops for 4-6 people at a time for $20 a person. I have been a teacher for over 40 years. -20 of those as an art teacher.

Karen, from Toronto,  rented my extra room for a week and had a lovely time adventuring and embracing the concept of assemblage art making or as I prefer to call it in my unrelenting war against Modernism- trash art.

Judy is a fellow Minnesotan and started off on the wrong foot with me by saying “I am not very creative”.  As you can see below: That was just NOT true!!  Her work ” Protect my Heart” was such a powerful example of how social practice art making can change YOUR world!!
