JUNE MEETING
Doors open at 6:00 pm
Meeting begins at 7:00 p.m.
Featured Artist: Nancy Sorensen
Program: Abstract Painter Meghan MacMillan
Meghan studied fine arts at the University of Alberta, finding a love for large scale colour-field painting. Meghan earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2007.
Moving from the university studios into a small two-bedroom apartment proved to be an interesting challenge. Meghan was forced to scale her work back dramatically, finding a new appreciation for smaller scale works and experimenting with watercolours.
Having bought a house with a large studio has given Meghan the opportunity to take what she learned through her smaller scale works and apply it to the larger scale she loves. Meghan lives in Fort Saskatchewan and stays at home full-time to raise her two children and continue her studio practice. Any spare time Meghan finds is devoted to promoting the arts within her community.
For any of us who have tried abstract painting … it’s harder than it looks! Join Megan for an inspirational talk and demo, delving into abstract, colour and how it helps her express her emotions.
Notes:
Access to the meeting is through the main back door centrally located on the east side of the church building.
See you all there!
