Kathy Leader is a mixed media Los Angeles based artist, owner and teacher at The Art Process Studio. She has a degree in fine art and masters in art education from South Africa. Kathy has earned a reputation as an inspiring creative coach encouraging all artists to understand the process of creativity while finding their own voice with new and innovative techniques taught in her workshops and retreats.
"We had the pleasure to have KATHY LEADER do a special workshop for us on how to make our own paper for mixed media techniques. The overall rating of this wait list only workshop attended by both seasoned and new artists was 100% positive as each person was given a chance to explore their own power to make art with newly, well presented skills. I highly recommend this lovely and talented woman for whatever art journey you're on! Barbara. Collage Artists of America

"2 of US" Exhibit at FastFrame
July 1 - 31 2020 at Fast Frame Valencia 24204 Valencia Blvd., 91355 Two Santa Clarita Artists Association award-winning artists will be featured at the "2 of Us" art exhibition July 1-31, 2020, at Fast Frame Valencia, located at 24204 Valencia Blvd., 91355, (661) 291-1324. As the City of Santa Clarita starts opening to the community with caution and safety guidelines, Zony Gordon will feature her latest florals and landscapes in watercolor & mixed media. Bonny Butler will show her mixed media abstracts with some alcohol ink and encaustic wax artworks. The community is invited to view these artworks, some of which were done or embellished during these last few months of quarantine. "At a time when residents are sheltered at home, there's a lot of energy for decorating and changing the look of our homes or place of business through art. Practical use of colors, themes, or shapes can do a lot of wonders with minimal cost," according to Gordon. The public is invited, or one can RSVP to either Gordon (661.312.3422) or Butler (661.993.6234) to meet the artists onsite. There will be raffles throughout for guests (winners need not be present), as well as Facebook live for art demos. |

Laurie Morgan Solo Art Show at FastFrame
August 2020 Monday - Saturday 10 am - 6pm. Laurie will be featured throughout the month of August at Fast Frame Valencia 2404 Valencia Blvd., 91355 The exhibit includes a selection of paintings from her travels and garden, showcasing landscapes, florals and architecture. “I get a thrill rendering on canvas the sights I see in my travels around the world,” said Morgan. “I’m intrigued by historic architecture and most of my work contains part of a house, castle, cottage, cabin, barn or other structure. I love the history behind the buildings and ruins, and try to convey their stories… I’m also fascinated by man’s use of natural substances such as stone, brick, wood and often add these to my work as well. Equally I love flowers and gardens and try to include them wherever I can. I often use my own garden for inspiration for many of my floral paintings.” An award-winning local artist since 1988, Morgan is a member and past-president of Santa Clarita Artists Association and teaches art classes through ARTree. Morgan’s art has been exhibited at the SCAA Gallery of Santa Clarita, La Galeria Gitana in San Fernando, Santa Paula Arts Association Gallery, The Lonny Chapman Theatre in Noho, JET Studios in Noho, the Canyon Theatre Guild, The Main in Old Town Newhall, Fast Frame Valencia, The Valley Fair, and other art fairs and shows throughout L.A. County. Her original paintings and prints reside in homes and businesses all over the world. Her complete collection may be viewed at www.lauriemorgan.biz. |

Friday July 24, 2020 Morning 9am - 12pm Welcome back to Plein Aire during the pandemic!

We will meet from 9-12 at Harbor Cove Beach in Ventura. We can meet at the parking lot at the end of Spinaker Drive. See the map to your right or here are the directions from Google Maps:
