This 2-day workshop takes place
saturday, june 15th and 22nd
from 9am to 4pm
In this introductory workshop, students will explore the theories and techniques of larger scale abstract painting. Zona will lead students through the theories and techniques of color-mixing, effectively applying paint, composing visual space, and understanding abstract language.
Each student will develop their personal expression to further explore the process of abstract art. Students will investigate composition using the formal elements and principles of design and find their natural “mark.” Students can expect to create at least three 18”x24” abstract pieces over the course of both days. Zona hopes to provide her students with the tools to explore new concepts, develop a creative voice, and build confidence as artists!

About zona
An endless melting and blending of natural colors into undefined forms that please the eye and tantalize the viewer's ability at interpretation, Zona Wainwright's work concentrates on the abstract.
"My thirst for training and education has culminated in my progression to that of instructor of abstract art at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. However, I continue to seek exposure to diverse styles and methodology by wearing two hats, that of instructor and that of student. I continue to expand my appreciation for the arts by balancing knowledge already gained with exposure to the talents of my peers."
Zona Wainwright is a life-long resident of the New Orleans area and began her painting career relatively later in life. She made up for the lost time, however, by extensive study at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, at several other local art institutions, training workshops and seminars, both locally and nationally.
Concentrating on abstract painting, she has refined her art to mirror patterns in architecture and nature with a seemingly endless blending of natural colors into undefined forms, leaving any definitive description of what is viewed to the imagination. She has exhibited in several local galleries and venues.
