Art can be deemed "Organic" by the materials an artist is using. Organic pigments, leaves, branches, berries, stones, etc., an assemblage of natural materials, a wooden sculpture, stones stacked/placed along a river… or even crop circles, are all examples of what one could term a form of "Organic Art". Organic art might express itself in a piece of raku fired ceramic, a collection of twigs, or paint on a canvas, twisted, layered, textured and tortured into place. Organic art is all around us, and has always been a part of our ever-changing world. We hope you enjoy this session as we play for a short while with organic/natural materials.
Artist Bio
Tammy Fenner, aka Fae Ma'ed, finds joy in life in creating, and art is a true healing path for her.
Tammy is a member of the Willowing Arts Community. This summer, Tammy completed paintings on a large portion of the boards surrounding the former GM lands as part of the ReNew The View project - the first mural project at a construction site in St. Catharines, with specially designed art work from local artists.
She has had her artwork exhibited at the Marilyn Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
Tammy has held a variety of positions at Shaw Festival including Props, Scenic art and Costumes, so you may have enjoyed some of her creations when taking in some of our local theatre😊
