The Southern Oregon Society of Artists (SOSA) holds its regular monthly meeting at the Medford Public Library on September 26, 2016 at 6:30 pm for a work-in-progress critique, refreshments and in-person social networking. Meeting / Critique starts at 7. All members are encouraged to bring in a work-in-progress.
This month is our SOSA Work-in-Progress Critique by Dixie Kinser. Members are encouraged to bring their work early.
Dixie first became enamored with art by dyeing silk. She loved to see how colors bloomed into beautiful patterns. In the 90s, she began another romance, this time with watercolor. Again, colors blended with beautiful results.
Since then she loves experimenting with color, shapes, composition and values. Then she just had to try abstract.
At present, her work is primarily abstract and mixed media collage using watercolor and acrylic.
For most of her career, Dixie worked in education as an administrator and teacher; however she finds art even more fulfilling.
