This one-morning community critique and end-of-the-year wrap-up is an opportunity to gather, share art, and engage in artistic inquiry. The purpose is to gain creative insight and feedback from the instructor and community. There will also be a breakfast-style potluck. Our critique will invite you to share 3-5 pieces of your art, reflect, and receive strength-based feedback as you set intentions for the upcoming year. Email jolynafry@gmail.com with questions!
About the instructor: Jolyn Fry was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They graduated with honors from Pennsylvania School of Art and Design in 1996. Since moving to Portland, Oregon, the following year, they have exhibited their continually evolving body of work in many group and solo shows. They are a trauma survivor and have used the practice of art-making and mindfulness in the process of recovering self. Whether depicting literal, physical landscapes or those of a more personal, emotional nature, Jolyn says, 'Surrendering to my artistic process grants me the kindest perspective of myself and the life that moves around me.’ They currently live in Portland, OR, and work as an art instructor teaching painting classes at Ulna Community Art Studio.
About the classroom space: Ulna studio is a creative space located on the 2nd floor of the Portland Storage Building on SE Morrison St. Contact the instructor for door code access. Please note there is a flight of stairs between street level and our second-floor studio.
