TRANSFORMING REALITIES: IN-CAMERA & IN PHOTOSHOP

Fran studied art and sociology at Brandeis University and received an MFA from Boston University's School of Fine Arts. Between working in the fields of illustration and graphic design and raising two daughters, Fran continued to create personal art, combining her illustrative and photographic skills with a passion for surrealism, paradox, illusion, assemblage, the non-human world, and the dislocations of time and place.

From her course description:

"The photographic digital collage technique is perfectly suited to portray the imagined world of idea, memory, and emotion. In this hands-on workshop, students will explore the multi-faceted art of the photographic composite. Our explorations will incorporate visual materials into existing images to create dream-like and surreal montages."

Glistening layers of radiant oil ink create truly unique images with depth, mystery, or veils of memory and possibilities. Beginners will be rewarded with magical surprises. There will be daily demonstrations along with individual discussion of work in progress. The instructor will bring large rollers, including “Big Bertha”. Lab fee includes inks and basic supplies.
