DEMONSTRATION NOV. 09

CAROL ZALESKI -----COLLAGE ARTIST

The demonstration takes place Friday, Nov. 13, 1:30 to 3:30 PM.
Calavera Hills Community Center, Calavera Community Park, 2997 Glasgow Drive,[map], Carlsbad

"The energetic and colorful work of Toulouse-Lautrec inspires me," says Zaleski. "I also relate to Mary Cassatt's subject sensitivity and personal involvement with her people".
But it's paper-the textures, colors, or even the attached memories (like wrappings of a gift received)-that is Zaleski's particular fasination. "Layering them into a painting that sparks emotion to become a feast for the eyes is what I hope for when I create collage".
Zaleski paints in mixed water media and experiments in collage. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Fallbrook Art Association and is represented by Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook, where she has received first place awards. Her work has also received recognition at the San Diego County Fair, the Fallbrook Art Association, the Studio of Art and Design, and the Fallbrook Art School Life Drawing, where she was recognized with Best of Show.
"Bits of paper can make hard or soft edges, large masses or tiny patterns, and draw you out in myriad ways". Zaleski says. "We are all multi-layered. My collages reflect my excitementin the layering experience. It changes a surface that stimulates and jolts the mind."

DEMONSTRATION OCT. 09

ED MOORES WATERCOLORS October 9, 2009





I grew up in California and Montana, and loved to draw and write as a child. In college, I had to choose between the two, so I elected writing because I knew I could make a living at it.

Now that my provessional writing career is over, I have had the opportnity to rekindle my first love - drawing. For nearly 40 years, I dabbled in black and white, pen and ink drawings, never producing sufficient quantities. And those I did produce usually were given away to friends.

About 10 years ago, I started taking my artwork more seriously - and not giving away the originals. I also expanded into color, using a combination of spray paint and acrylic. Most of my work is on pH neutral paper with pH neutral pens or colors. The originals are 42-inches by 26-inches.

I enjoy producing landscapes of the Western USA, particularly fishing streams, Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe.

The demonstration takes place Friday, Oct. 9, 1:30 to 3:30 PM.
