We are all masterpieces in the making

Hello!
My name is Maureen Born & I'm so glad you're here!
The wheels are now set in motion. Oh, my goodness, what have I done? My joy is to create and to share my creativity with others.
Nine years ago I retired from teaching kindergarten. Since then, I have been painting and creating. And, during this time, I have learned my weakness. And that is self-promotion. Some call it Imposter Syndrome. When this syndrome exists, one ends up with an overabundance of artwork. But, there is an upside: Change of art for every season. Change of art every month. Needless to say, my wall art is changed on a regular basis.

LEARN & EXPLORE
Find joy in creating something new that only YOU could've created and didn't exist until you picked up a paint brush! No one in the world has your mindset, experiences, or talents. We all see things differently, prefer certain colors, and love using certain media. Join one of my small classes and let's embrace those differences and explore where it takes us.
The art journey is messy, bold, unexpected and always FUN!

As the new year begins, you might have made a resolution to be more creative and adventurous. Maybe I can help you with that. I am adventuring to open a Saturday morning acrylic painting class in my home. It will cover basics of acrylic painting skills, setting up a palette, tips on making an harmonious painting, delving into collage materials, trying different paint mediums, texture, composition and more. You will step into the world of abstract and contemporary florals and complete a painting or two in 4 weeks.
The 4 classes will be held at my home studio at 2997 Country Woods Ln. Cincinnati, OH. 45248 in Green Township. My studio is a lower level room where we have plenty of elbow room. I am limiting class size to 6.
Dates are Saturday Jan. 28, Feb. 4, 11, 18. Times are 9:30 - 12:00.
Cost $120, includes everything you need to complete two 16" x 20" contemporary, abstract floral canvas paintings. Bring your morning beverage of choice to get you started for this morning class and step into the creative world of acrylic painting.
Call (513) 205-3382 to reserve your space or for questions.
Below are some contemporary florals I have painted to give you an idea of what to expect.
So proud of my students who were not afraid to venture into acrylic painting. Some used combinations of stencils, painted tissue paper , rice paper, Posca paint pens and oil pastel. There were three students that I didn’t get pictures of their work and their painting were just as fabulous.
