Family Service and Guidance Center Art Collaboration

My art piece for the new Child and Family Academy wing of the Family Service and Guidance Center went on display last Tuesday, April 15.

This colossal piece (7′ x 4′) combined original artwork from the art sessions I led with children and staff of FSGC, with my own artwork. It came together as a plexiglass collage with the center’s logo projecting off of the surface of the piece. Surrounding the painting are the donor panels honoring the supporters of the center.

Special thanks goes out to Josh Pattie. His framing, installation skills, and access to his brother-in-law’s truck were invaluable in the process!

An Art Collaboration

I am in the process of creating a colossal 8′ by 4′ piece of artwork to hang in the waiting room of the Family Service and Guidance Center’s new Child & Family Academy building.

This piece of artwork will be comprised of over 35 smaller plexiglass paintings created by myself and some of the children and associates of the center. The process began with a painting session for the children where I taught them my painting style. That night was so successful, we decided to do another class for Family Service and Guidance Center staff members to paint over their lunch break.

After all of the plexiglass panels had been created, I starting working with Josh Pattie to assemble the painting. And with Mike at Creative Signs on the donor panels that will be surrounding the artwork.
