October 9 – Artful Images on Everyday Objects with Carol Manuputy
Art Center Morro Bay is happy to present a demonstration with artist and teacher Carol Manuputy. Carol represents 1/2 of the Peaceful Planet Design team that also includes her husband, Richard. They have designed textiles, murals, paintings, and sculptures for hospitals, schools, and other public buildings throughout California since 1986.
Carol was born in Rochester, NY, and holds a BA in applied Art from Cal Poly. She has taught at the SLO Art Center, public and private schools, and in their studio in Los Osos, where Richard also teaches yoga and plays guitar.
In this interactive demonstration, you will be making art that is collaborative, fun and surprising: an immersion into their philosophy of making beauty from everyday objects.
November 13 – Paint Your Pet with Karen Blaney
Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present, “Paint Your Pet”, an interactive demonstration.
Although Karyn Blaney has a fine art degree from Kent State University with a concentration in printmaking, she never wants to be restricted to one medium. Whether it’s paint, ink, pencil or paper, Karyn lets whatever subject she’s working with dictate the creative process. Karyn pulls from images and memories that excite her and hold her attention. From movie scenes to people she connects with or passes on the street, Karyn finds inspiration everywhere. Her resulting creations feature loose brushstrokes and a dreamy feel to a uniquely Impressionistic style.
Karyn started ArtSocial805, a traveling art studio, 8 years ago on the central coast, and is based in Paso Robles. She has instructed thousands of people from ages 5 to 95 since the business’ start. She has branched out into specialized classes featuring Paint Your Pet, Homeschooling, Glow events, Watercolor Bar by ArtSocial805 and so much more.
