Exploring Abstraction: A One Day Drawing Workshop

On March 1, 2014, from 1PM to 4PM,  I am having a drawing workshop in my studio. So excited to conduct this workshop.

Over the years I have put together a series of challenging exercises meant to stretch the idea that most have about the definition of drawing. In this case it is mark making but in a purposeful and personal way. Most participants will find drawing to not only be fun but more easily approachable. And more often than not return to their own work with new ideas. And that is the idea, I hear so often the comment "I would love to loosen up". Here is your chance. All drawing supplies are included. Register at http://www.helenderamus.com . The cost is $100 due the day of the workshop.

On The Road Again

On my way to deliver art to S.h.e. Gallery in Boonton, NJ I got to be the passenger for a while and used Paper 53 to create drawings. Need to draw to stay sane. Really, the truck bouncing along helped me stay loose. LOL
