PAINT ALONG ACRYLICS

Instructor - Cherie Blickenstaff
About Cherie Blickenstaff in her own words: “Years ago, I made my living as an artist, creating artwork, participating in Florida outdoor art show, and licensing my artwork to various reproduction companies. Then life got in the way, and I had to get “a real job”. For 20 years+ I worked behind a desk instead of an easel. I enjoyed it but with a degree in fine art, making PowerPoint charts was not my idea of being creative. Now that I have retired, I have gotten back in touch with my creative self. For the past several years I have been creating, doing shows again and teaching art classes. I enjoy sharing my skills and knowledge, especially with those who maybe thought they could never paint.”
