Over the holidays, my cousin Douglas brought his entire family to Santa Fe to ski. The snow wasn’t great that weekend so his girls got to participate in an impromptu painting workshop that I held in my studio. The results were amazing. Miyabi, who is fifteen, made this collage piece  using a transfer of a vintage letter and photograph along with other collage elements.

Skye, who is three years younger did several mixed media pieces. This one with words and textures is my favorite.

The girls had both had experience painting with acrylics, but their mom hadn’t. Naomi produced this lovely, textured dragonfly  her first time out!
