Cas Holmes Bio:
My work relates to the natural and built world around us and the elements
that make it up.
I like to use found materials as part of this process and am always
looking at the environmental links and sustainable practice.
This year I am collaborating on several projects including work with
another artist as a means to develop my studio practice and produce new
work using a range of themes.
I am also exhibiting new work in two main projects this year, 'Traces' and
a collaboration, with four other artists, 'Transitions', touring from
Bilston Craft Gallery. Both theses exhibitions are touring the U.K.
As part of my practice I work in the public context, teaching, consultancy
work, commissions and workshop based projects.

Cory Celaya from Arizona
Friday November 14th - 16th, 2008
Exploration in Mixed Media w/ Cory Celaya (11/14-16)
This is Session 3 in Cory's Mixed Media series.
Anyone can start the series at anytime.
It is a time to grow as an artist and push yourself artistically.
We will continue to offer the series into 2009!
Cory's Bio:
Cory gets bags of “stuff” that normal people would toss in the trash.
Images from magazines, newspapers, printed text, numbers, letters, bills,
receipts, sheet music, wallpaper, envelopes, junk mail, catalogs, tickets,
menus, announcements, invitations, documents, are all fair game when it
comes to art!
“All this stuff makes me happy and happy is what “moxie art” is made
of.
Yes, be mindful of copyrights, if you plan to show, sell, teach, or
publish, but…if you crave the rush of creating for yourself, go for it,
and learn to love what you do.” Cory says.
Cory teaches nationally and internationally for 25 years, offering classes
in watercolor, mixed media collage, encaustics, faux resin techniques for
art objects, jewelry, and much more.
She is passionate about teaching and about creating art, whether a large
painting or a small piece of art to wear or display.
