Mixed Media
Description
Join Ms. Wright to explore a variety of painting materials and techniques while using the beautiful Stuart campus as inspiration. Campers will work with watercolor, acrylic, and oil sticks, creating projects in both small and large formats.
With guidance in brush techniques, color mixing, and composition, students will develop their painting skills and express their unique artistic vision. By the end of the week, each camper will have a portfolio of vibrant works to showcase their creativity and growth as an artist. This camp is perfect for budding painters eager to try new materials and techniques! This session DOES NOT include lunch for your camper. Lunch can be added in the Options menu for $40/week.

Faculty Bio:
Phyllis E. Wright has been teaching Middle and Upper School art since the fall of 2007. In addition, she directed the gallery at Stuart from 2007- 2014. She received her BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University and her MFA from The George Washington University where she was a graduate fellow. Upon graduation she became an Assistant Professor of Art teaching Printmaking, Two-dimensional Design and Mixed Media for a decade.

She also taught continuing studies classes at The Maryland Institute, College of Art. While living in Maryland she was one of the original members of Maryland Printmakers, a not for profit educational corporation established to encourage the making and collecting of fine art prints. As President, she coordinated the 1993 Southern Graphics Council Conference bringing together such institutions as The Maryland Institute, College of Art, The Baltimore Museum of Art, Pyramid Atlantic, The Cultural Center of Brazil, and various galleries in the Baltimore/Washington Corridor. Ms Wright has been a preparator of art for various university museums and private galleries.

In 2003 she moved back to her hometown of Princeton to be closer to her mother. She taught workshops and classes at The Arts Council of Princeton during the summer and is an active artist whose work is shown and collected worldwide. Her most current work began during the pandemic. These “daily paintings” reflect the unfolding of her life and her response to her surroundings.

In addition to teaching, Ms. Wright travels and is especially inspired by art and archeological sites. Visit her website phylliswrightart.com.
