If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, bored or just want to play, explore and learn a little, these classes may be for you. Beginners as well as experienced artists are welcome! Destination Art is presenting an ongoing series of Mini-Mixed Media Classes over time. Each class will present a different technique or material in a spirit of exploration, growth and nurturing individual creativity. Each class will be hands on, with demos, group and individual critique. The emphasis will be on process rather than product.
THE 2nd CLASS IN SERIES III, ASSEMBLAGE (An artistic composition made by putting together
found objects, scrap or junk ) and RETABLOS (A Latin American devotional painting or folk art)
In this class we will be manipulating, altering and assembling found objects to create unique 3-D Compositions.

About Lynn Mikami
 |
 |
Lynn’s family, along with other Japanese Americans, was forced to leave their home and was imprisoned for three years without charge or trial during World War II. She was born in the Heart Mountain Relocation Camp, Wyoming in 1944. A body of her work, an ongoing series over time, is her expression and interpretation of the feelings and experiences of her family and fellow internees. Barbed wire, a symbol often found in her work, serves to remind her of her roots and the fragility of the freedoms we enjoy.
She currently resides in Southern California where she attended both UCLA and USC. Lynn is inspired by nature, myth and the varied cultures of the world. Creating art is like air, essential to her well-being. Her current work includes experimental mixed media, collage, assemblage, encaustic, batik and fused glass. Her works express ideas, opinions or feelings that lift us beyond the ordinary, that expand our perception in some way to touch, connect and enrich our lives.
She is a member of and served on the board of the Society of Layerists in Multi Media and has shown her work at both National and Regional Exhibitions. She has shown both individually and with groups
