Lecture & Demo: Golden Artist Colours

As an artist, Shari considers herself a mixed-media figurative acrylic painter. She is currently interested in the correlation between the built surface and traditional figurative painting. A strange, almost haunting, feeling is found in her subjects who draw in and captivate viewers.
