Next Faux Retreat August 22 - August 26, 2012
Come join us for 5 spectacular days of learning, sharing and fun!
Included in your retreat stay...
Deb will share many of her unique findings from creating art for 5 Hotels and numerous Commercial spaces. With over 30 years as a graphic designer, she will share her tips to integrate the use of computers and projectors as tools to allow artist’s to mass-produce their own ideas.
Students will be challenged with:
Creativity exercises to stir imaginations
Discovering a genuine style of expression
Designing within smaller boundaries
How to market and sell your art
Deb’s emphasis as an instructor is to encourage CREATIVITY with using materials &products you have in your studio...learn to use up “leftovers”, mix & match and make do!!
“It’s not so much at this point on WHAT products we use, it’s trusting your instincts, enjoying the process, opening yourselves up for experimentation in HOWto use up what you have already.”....Purge...Merge... & SPLURGE in creativity!

Just some of the things said about these instructors....
Just wanted to say thank you, again. You are such a joy to be around and a real inspiration. My mind is so full with thoughts and ideas since your class. Which has only been one, whole day. I can hardly sleep.
Deb, thank you so much for coming to Cinci to do your class. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of it. I really feel like this is the direction I want to go with my creativity. This is going to give me such an outlet to create. Like I said my head is "so full", it's spinning. You really are like an energy tab...WOW!
-Kathy
thank you so much for everything...I feel like I've had new life breathed into me.
- Shelby
First of all, I feel as though it was a great privilege to be able to take a class from you. I feel you are truly inspirational both as an artist and as a person.
Like most people, life has dealt me many unexpected blows as well. When I would fall down as a child, my mother always said "pick yourself up and clean yourself off, you will be fine!" I find those words echoing through my head and they motivate me to do just that! I can honestly say that you put your heart
and soul into your work and I feel that is also reflected in your teaching style.
-Leanne
Can't say enough about your class,... and of course I am taking Class 2. I feel you are a true kindred spirit... your work is what I have been wanting to do for soooo long.... now I know what to do with all my CANDY I have stored up for years. Thank you for the motivation I needed to move forward to what I truly have been seeing for years and have never had time or motivation to do by myself!
-Laura
Deb,
It was such a pleasure meeting you and working with you in the classroom. I feel as though I will use the info learned for a lifetime of canvas projects. I seriously would like to step up my canvas painting game and start making money doing it! I will definitely try to take the class in October.
-Sheri
