Lynn Mikami is back with another installment of her Mixed Media series, this time with guest instructor Herlinda Giandalia. If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, bored or just want to play, explore and learn a little, this class may be for you. Beginners as well as experienced artists are welcome! Destination Art has been presenting an ongoing series of Mini-Mixed Media Classes over the last couple of years. Like the others, this class will be hands on, with demos, group and individual critique. The emphasis will be on process rather than product.
This installment will address Adding Fabric and Stitching to your Mixed Media Work. Please bring the following materials if you have them : Fabrics (scraps are great) needles, threads, scissors – Substrates, paper, cardboard, cardstock, canvas, wood, old paintings. You do not need to go out and buy anything we will have enough to share. Also, please see the attached materials list for Lynn's suggested mixed media kit.

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
