When the word abstract is used as an adjective it is defined as "considered apart from concrete existence." This workshop is for anyone who wants to explore their thoughts, emotions, and the world around them with shapes, color, and line. No previous experience is necessary. However, if you have painted and want to stretch to non-figurative, or simply want to continue to experiment, this workshop provides the opportunity. Whether a still life, painting the view from a window, the sound of music, or a color form the color wheel, you’ll find something to stimulate your imagination.

MJ Levy Dickson explores global interconnectedness through her artwork and has discovered a common denominator in the natural world, through touch, color, light, mood, and subject that transcend conventional land and water boundaries. Recently, she was artist-in-residence at the Perkins School for the Blind and traveled to Iceland and the Caribbean to exhibit her work. She hopes to use her environmentally-focused pieces to communicate the importance of preserving our beautiful natural surroundings worldwide.
Dickson studied with Jan Cox while in the Diploma Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and has a BFA from Tufts University, as well as an MFA in Art Education from Boston University. She taught at MIT, the Boston Architectural Center, Lesley University, and the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts, as well as privately with all age groups. Dickson works with a variety of mediums in her paintings and drawings to convey a composite relationship between mood and subject. www.mjlevydickson.com www.mjlevydickson.com.
