Seasonal Landscape Workshops
Seasonal workshops offered by Maquoketa Art Experience focusing on the natural resources and beauty of Jackson
County, Iowa.  Each season of the year, we will host a landscape workshop offered by a noted landscape artist.


Fall landscape workshop:
Terri Ford
Landscapes in Pastel
October 8th, 9th, and 10th, 2010




Come work with Terri Ford and experience the orderly rows of pristine
farmlands and hills that inspired Grant Wood's landscapes and the birthplace
of Regionalist art.  This will be a unique opportunity to work with a master
pastel artist in an equally unique location.  Space is limited, so register today!

Terri Ford, a native Calfornian, has traveled extensively throughout Europe
and Mexico. Her pastel paintings include landscapes, portraits, the splendors
of Paris, the backroads of France, and Italy...Cortona, Tuscany, Florence,
and Venice. Although a studio artist for many years, she now focuses on
painting en plein air.

"My pastel paintings are rendered in representational and
impressionistic style. Not meant to be clever or symbolic,
my work is a personal and human response to the subject.
Whether loose or tightly rendered I strive to convey an honest
and compassionate portrayal of all that I paint. My interest
lies in creating paintings that reflect the extraordinary character
within the ordinary."

Terri's memberships include:
IAPS Masters Circle
Pastel Society of America - Signature Member
Pastel Society of the West Coast - Distinguished Pastelist
Pastel Society of New Mexico - Signature Member
Sierra Pastel Society - Signature Member

“Terri's work reflects her keen sense of observation. Light and shadows weaving across a tapestry of textures and vibrant colors are a trademark of this outstanding artist."

-Michael Dancer
