In the Studio with Artist Kimmary MacLean

As a child Kimmary would spend hours perfecting her drawings, as a teenager she would hide in my room painting, and as an adult her version of a vacation is sketching or painting in a new place.

Today, she can be found painting, drawing, photographing, or working digitally on the computer, as well as, teaching ballet at the National Ballet Institute for the Arts or leading art programs at The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, which she founded in January 2014.

Here’s Kimmary talking about her art, process and experience………..

In the Studio with Artist Mia Halton

From the beginning the role of figures was central, ranging from cartoon-‐like, graphic images to more gestural forms. It is the pictorial space between the figures and forms that has continually evolved in Halton’s prints, drawings, and paintings.

She was recently awarded the A.I.R. Vallauris in France, and a solo exhibition at Stevenson University.

Mia has also been an incredible ceramics instructor at the Chesapeake Arts Center for the last 4 years, so we wanted to make sure that we highlighted Mia in our blog.

Here’s Mia talking about her art, process and experience:
