Free Art Demo: Learn to Paint Birds

A.R.T., Inc. is proud to present a free online demo featuring Mixed Media Artist, Educator and Designer Colleen Gianatiempo, Saturday, June 11, 2-3:30 pm. Register by June 9 on the www.artinc.org website.

Using mixed media, Ms. Gianatiempo will show how to paint birds. This creative paint-a-long demo will be fun for all levels.

Ms. Gianatiempo, who now lives in St. George, Utah, approaches life in the same way she paints—by being courageous, honoring her intuition, trusting the journey, and embracing the mystery. This mindset enables her distinctive style.

In 2017, she earned an MFA from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Because her art was selected for Hearts of San Francisco and the Small Town with a Big Heart Mural in Martinez, she has earned the reputation of being the “Artist with a Heart.”
