Sandy Maudlin quit her 'day job' about 20 years ago, to pursue an active life as an artist.  She has been on an incredible adventure ever since. She enjoys being able to share with other artists in classes and workshops, as she continues her art journey.

Sandy has been awarded numerous Best of Show Awards, including the Ohio Watercolor Society annual juried show in 2006 and the Watercolor Society of Indiana's annual juried show in 2008. She holds signature membership in both OWS and WSI.  She's an active member of the Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society and served as its president for three years.

 

"Experimenting with watercolor on YUPO, led me into abstraction with my art."  Taking the chaos of shapes, colors, and textures and turning them into a work of art requires both intuition and expertise in design.  Chaos to control, produces some very exciting art."

This workshop will help you explore the incredible possibilities of painting on YUPO.

A variety of media and techniques will be used, including fluid acrylics and collage. There will be a daily demo to inspire you with new ideas for your individual work. Sandy will spend quality time working one-on-one with every artist.

This workshop is planned to present new challenges to help you stretch beyond your expectations.

Bring your imagination and prepare to have a blast, as we all go OVER THE TOP with Yupo!
