The Chemainus Art Group is thrilled to host a guest artist at our monthly Meet-Up on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. It's always inspirational when our guests talk to us about their work, do a demo or lead a work-along. Here is what we have planned for the Winter/Spring schedule.

Specifically, demonstrating how to create a “portrait” of a person(s) or place using mix media collage on wood. These types of portrait collages can be unique and thoughtful gifts to express deeper acknowledgment of a person’s true personality and character. Click HERE to learn more about Trisha.
