Virginia Arts of the Book Center Indulgences Project

I collaborate with a wonderful group of people at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center.  The "Indulgences" group project will be revealed tomorrow, Sunday, March 20, 2011.

Here are a few photos from the shop and details about the event!


Join us this Sunday afternoon, March 20, from noon to 3pm for an exhibit of our new group project, "Indulgences"! We will have certificates and refreshment at the Artbox/VABC Gallery in the Ivy Square Shopping Center. A select few books will be available for purchase. This is the perfect artist’s book to add to your collection and celebrate the 2011 Virginia Festival of the Book.

Photo Montage Workshop

Transmutation by Stacey Evans(me) is the featured artwork in my photo montage workshop.  Using photoshop we will explore layer mask, blending modes and adjustment layers to merge three photographs creating one final image.















Examples of student work.



Photo Collage Workshop

David Hockney is the featured artist in my photo collage workshop. Using Photoshop the workshop explores selection tools, layers, transforming shapes and color adjustment. Students are encouraged to complete two pieces inspired by the David Hockney artworks shown here.
