We work in the dark
We do what we can
We give what we have
Our doubt is our passion and
Our passion is our task
The rest is the madness of art.
~ Heny James

Past Workshops

Painting and Drawing: Beginning - Advanced

2008
The University of Hawai'i Outreach College, Honolulu, HI   Class Description Sticking With It, Developing Voice as an Artist
For intermediate and advanced students already well-versed in techniques and materials of painting. The first four days of this intensive workshop will focus on the Buddhist principle of non-attachment. Explore the balance between `sticking to` and `letting go` while working on a large format. Discussions, videos, and individual guidance are provided to facilitate this process. Building on the the previous week`s work, four additional sessions will focus on the development of a personal direction and the refinement of each person`s work.

The Athenaeum School of the Arts, La Jolla, CA
La Jolla Country Day School, La Jolla, CA   Class Description Portrait of An Artist
A two-day workshop for Advanced Placement students, with a focus on process. The project engages the use of a variety of media, and gives students an experience of working in both two and three dimensions.

The Athenaeum School of the Arts, La Jolla, CA    Class Description Painting: From Start to Finish
Join Pia for a three-day intensive workshop exploring the process of making a painting. This class requires only a basic understanding of painting and is geared toward students of all levels. Individualized and lively group exercises, discussions, videos, and structured guidance will aid us in developing and refining our work. If you need a fresh start, this is a great way to break loose. Prepare to get messy, work hard, and dig deep!
