You might be surprised to learn that the woman walking the dogs in this semi-abstract collage is the super model Kate Moss. Or could you tell that from her strutting gait? I had a lot of fun assembling the pieces of paper painted in acrylic and gluing them onto the support of watercolor paper in Susan Herron's class at the Art League School in Alexandria, VA.
In Susan Herron's class, several years of painting clicked and I finally began to see and paint like a real artist. She is one of the most generous and innovative teachers whom I had the good fortune to meet. Despite some personal tragedies, she continues to be a warm, positive human being and popular teacher. I may have never attended an art college, but will hesitate to call myself a self-taught artist. I have had numerous influences--direct and indirect--in my art education, and Susan has been one of the former. Thank you.
