Everything is Changing

This is a painting done on hot pressed paper. The paper has a gloss to it and it holds the paint on top. It gives the piece a more painterly appearance.

Nancy Canyon, MFA

I've been making art since childhood. Then it was just for fun and to keep my mind off of other things. Now, I guess it's the same. Art makes me a better person. It takes me into my core and keeps me there for long periods of time. When I'm finished working for the day, I feel more complete, more grounded, more available for the rest of my life. If you've always wanted to paint or write, but don't know where to start, I will encourage you. Stop by my studio and take a look. 1000 Harris, #6, in Historic Fairhaven.
