Join NVN member Kathryn Borgenicht and Lynn Sini in this exciting discussion and hands-on artmaking experience to unleash the wonders of Abstract Art! Learn how to look deeply into art that represents ideas and learn the elements at play in the visual language of abstraction. 
 
In our time together we will explore works of various abstract artists and enter our own world not tethered to object representation, a world where color and line have meaning, a world where we will explore the vast limitless possibilities and joy of personal expression found in abstract art by making our own with the guidance of our hosts.

Through discussion and artmaking, participants will explore the limitless possibilities and personal joy of abstraction, with guidance from two experienced abstract artists, Kathryn and Lynn.
 
No art background is required, all materials are included, and registration is required because space is limited.
------------

Kathryn comes to abstraction art through her love of painting. Using different
instruments and media in her studio, Kathryn creates through intuition and a series of
aesthetic choices to produce dynamic explorations of color and multimedia layered
work. Personal expression in her painting is most important. In her prior life, Kathryn
was a Geriatric physician who used her intuition in her practice.

Lynn Sini is an abstract painter working in polymer resin and wax. Her work explores the
divide between abstraction and universal symbols. Through inscriptions, color and
texture Lynn’s work offers a discovery of relationships between layers of movement and
mood. Her work is in the permanent collections of such places as the Whitney Museum
of American Art and the Musee D Art Moderne Et D Art Contemporain, Nice.

P.S. Join us for more conversations on Abstraction as we explore the amazing Abstract Art
collection of the Woodmere Art Museum on Sunday, October 4th. Sign up at the workshop!
