Local Artist Leads Embedded Imagery Workshop
Lori Dillon with a couple of her recent works.
Lori Dillon, local artist, will lead a three-day workshop called “Exploring Embedded Imagery.”
“I’ll help you combine your own stories and symbols with a variety of materials,” she says. “It’s a multi-media workshop that will change the way you think about your visual art.”
Lori’s love of the outdoors and color show in her artwork. Art classes through high school and a two-year vocational Graphic Arts course honed her skills. More recently, she has attended several classes at the Sitka Center for Arts and Ecology in Otis, Oregon. This resulted in her current passion for mixed media pieces.
Dillon has participated with and displayed artwork at CART’M’s annual Trash Bash, the Manzanita Creative Arts Council’s (MCAC) Annual Summer Show, and the Tillamook County Arts Network’s (TCAN) many events. This past December she had a successful month-long display of mixed media works at Manzanita News and Espresso. You can also see samples of her work using embedded imagery technique at the 4th Street and Sea Level galleries in Manzanita, and at the Harrison Cafe’ in Wheeler.
Active in the arts community, Dillon serves on the boards of the MCAC and TCAN. Both groups promote local artists.
“Although I have shared my techniques with friends on an informal basis, this will be my first formal class. We are going to have fun!”
The class will be held over three days, Tuesday, April 27, through Thursday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students will be working on several pieces at a time and by the end will go home with 3 to 5 completed works. Most supplies will be included in the $120 tuition, but students will be given a list upon registering. Have a question? Call Lori at 503.368.6153. Limited to 6 participants, so register soon!
