GROUP PAINTINGS
In painting workshops, I work with participants to design a group project, sketch outlines, and add color and texture. I have worked with groups of 3 to 30, ages 5 to 90. We typically use student-grade acrylic paints on a primed surface--canvas, MDF, plywood--or high-grade house paints on primed outdoor walls.
2015
This large canvas mural was painted by over 30 children and teens at Center for Changing Lives afterschool program in South Minneapolis. I created a coloring-book-style outline, and the group filled it with bright colors and interesting patterns, as well as a few surprises (a flying bar of chocolate in the top left corner!)
"Second Day of Creation"
2015
Part of a series of 7 group paintings of creation, by children ages 5-12 at the South Minneapolis Ecumenical Day Camp. The children worked on these large pieces together, imagining 7 stages of creation, over the course of 4 days of camp.

"Hippo and Snake"
2016
This series of 4 group outdoor mural pieces was part of Redeemer's summer camp series. Children came up with the mural ideas together, sketched them on plywood, then painted the images together. The pieces were temporarily installed on a condemned house in the neighborhood that Redeemer had just bought.
