Madeline Garrett Newsletter | December 2017

Good Bye 2017!! 

You were a wonderful amazing year of taking risks, reaching goals, and finding new horizons that surprised even me - it was a good year! This newsletter will be short and sweet to salute 2017 and express gratitude for everyone that helped make this year so special. I am ever more determined to make a difference in 2018, explore new creative ideas, become more involved in the community, and find ways to promote kindness and compassion. ​

New Work at 10 West Gallery

Introducing the newest creations from my studio. "Gone Girls" (right) was finished just in time for delivery on December 27. The cutaway collage underlayers were complicated with stenciling and spray paint.. I finally found a complete balance, and was thrilled to add it to the collection of new work. 

"Hype" (below) contains the predominant theme of "don't believe the hype" there's a lot of hot air out there. We just need the truth not alternative facts, I don't think that's asking for too much. Currently on view at 10 West Gallery in Santa Barbara, CA through January 28, 2018.

​Abstract Layering Techniques Workshop (Level 1) - Jan 10-12

Class is full and we will begin the workshop next week with a wonderful group of artists! We had so many sign up that the class will be held at Peggy Ferris' spacious Chaparral Studios in the foothills of Santa Barbara. It is such perfect timing to kick off the year with a bold jump into creative expression. The possibilities are endless, and I am proud to be the teacher/mentor/instigator for this workshop!
