Artists in Motion| November 22, 1:30 - 3:00 PM at Goldman Art Gallery
Join us for a special afternoon of art demonstrations, conversation, and creative discovery during Montgomery Art Association’s exhibition, AfterGlow at the Goldman Gallery. Great opportunity to buy original work showing in the gallery and demonstrations by artists as holiday gifts.
You are invited to drop in, enjoy tea and cookies, and watch three outstanding MAA artists demonstrate their unique artistic processes.
This relaxed and interactive event offers a rare opportunity to see artwork come to life and to speak directly with the artists about their materials, inspiration, and techniques.
Featured Demonstrating Artists:
Wendy Shiau
Wendy, a newly Certified Zentangle Teacher, will introduce the Zentangle Method, a relaxing, meditative way of drawing that builds structured, repeating patterns into beautiful abstract art. Often called “yoga for the brain,” Zentangle focuses on the calming process of drawing rather than the finished piece.
Andrew Alter -- Inner World Artworks (beginning at about 2:00 pm)
Andrew will demonstrate fast, expressive figure drawing from a live, clothed model, working in ink and charcoal on toned paper. Because ink can’t be erased, every mark stays, and his drawings capture the energy of a living, breathing person in the moment. Feeling brave? Volunteer to be Andrew’s model for a short 10–15 minute pose! See more of his work on Instagram at @iwaa_art
Zhaobo Li -- Zaobo Fine Art Studio
Zhaobo will demonstrate his oil painting technique, using expressive brushwork, rich color and simplified shapes to capture the light and atmosphere of the landscape. Drawing on his experience painting outdoors (plein air), he’ll share how he translates what he sees in nature onto the canvas. His website is Zaobo Fine Art
Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase prints and small original artwork directly from the artists during the demonstration.
This event brings additional focus to the Montgomery Art Association AfterGlow exhibition and reflects MAA’s commitment to fostering engagement between artists and the community.
This is a free event and open to the public. But Please MAA Members -- register. It will help us plan appropriately for seating and ensure a comfortable experience for all attendees.
We hope you’ll join us for this inspiring afternoon in the gallery.
