Alcohol Inks

Demonstration and workshop using alcohol inks

The October 16th Lemont Artists Guild meeting, will begin at 7 PM at the Homer Township Public Library, 14320 W 151st St, Homer Glen, IL. Deborah Spertus will give a demonstration working with the fascinating medium of alcohol inks. Her abstract work is meant to evoke emotions. She will have alcohol ink and small pieces of paper for participants to experiment with and try out the medium. She is an accomplished abstract surrealist artist and has her BFA in Art History, an MA in French and did an internship at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. She has studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, Lill Street Gallery, the Evanston Art Center and also learned from working with artists in their studios. She had a ten-year career as a muralist and decorative artist where she needed to learn multiple styles, techniques and materials. She likes "creating pieces that have enough complexity and interest that the viewer continues to discover something new about them over time." Visit her website at www.spertusstudios.com

Refreshments will be served.
