Art Workshop: Expressive Mixed Media

In this class, we’ll dive into the world of abstract art, guiding you through a range of exercises designed to free up your creativity and explore new ways of expression. You’ll focus on mark-making, colour, and form, learning how to break away from realism and embrace abstraction.

Whether you're new to abstract art or looking to deepen your skills, this class will help you see and interpret your work from a fresh perspective, encouraging bold, expressive creations.

About Emma Peers:
A Scottish-born artist, Emma emigrated to New Zealand in 2006 after studying at the Glasgow School of Art. Her art is largely focused on portraiture and figurative painting, but she also draws inspiration from the landscapes of Central Otago, incorporating their textures and colours into her work. Emma's paintings explore emotion, with recent works focusing on mark-making and manipulating form to evoke a strong sense of feminine expression.

This workshop targets a range of learning abilities.
