Bio
Adrienne graduated from the University of Calgary in 1987 with a degree in Fine Arts and moved to Bathurst, N.B. In 1991. She became a founding member of the Bathurst Art Society and served as President for 11 years. She has taught art in Bathurst since 1989, privately, in the school system and with UNB. Adrienne teaches all mediums of visual art as in water colours, acrylic, oil, collage and children’s art in art camps and classes at the Bay Breeze Art Gallery.
Residency Project
I prefer to teach art projects that have a positive outcome in an age related program. Those could be exploring techniques in water colour or acrylics with some basic colour, composition and perspective theory to name a few.Those might include painting landscapes, still life, or drawing based on line, shading, balance and the use of values which is extremely important in all art development.
Teaching Experience
Adrienne has consistently taught art since 1989 with children, young adults, adults and seniors in the mediums of watercolours, acrylics, oils, collage and special studies of the masters such as Monet, Van Gogh, Klimt, O’Keefe and Kahlo in 10 week courses Fall, Winter and Spring at the Bay Breeze Art Gallery and gives two Children’s Art Camps of 1 week duration every July.
