Join Art Encounter at the Ravenswood studio of Chicago painter Marcia Festen to explore her unique process of painting with ink, pigment powder, oil pastels, and other media on flexible, translucent film. See how Marcia’s large-scale works explore change through loosely-drawn organic imagery that does not resolve into a fixed or final structure. Engage in a lively discussion of Marcia’s work, watch a demonstration of her process, and have the chance to step into the artist’s shoes by experimenting with materials and intuitive mark-making. No experience is necessary! The event will be led by Art Encounter’s Alex Stevenson and Sarah Packer.
