Watercolor Flower

Introducing Eliza Cooney

I met Eliza when I was making prints of my art at the local copy shop. She liked them and bought some for her grandson, and told me that she was an artist, and had been an art teacher in a school for a long time.

I went to see her paintings, and we also got together to talk about art, and visited each others studios. She is a very friendly and creative person, and those are two attributes I value highly. She's also teaching a new series of art workshops, and I will put up the info for them here.

Here's some of her words from her brochure:

Everyone has greater powers than they realize.
“To engage and persist”
…a multifaceted approach...
Making art is a continuum of making choices, connections.
Art is vital to happiness.

Background

Eliza Cooney studied at Smith College as an Ada Comstock Scholar and has been teaching art for thirty years.

Return of the Slacker - The Book


I made a book of the poems on my other blog, Return of the Slacker, and now you can get a copy yourself. It has around 182 poems in it, and a bright modern painting of mine on the cover. Many people have enjoyed reading my poems, and I wanted to make them available in another way, so more people can.
