Art duo Guerra del la Paz had a residency at Northern, and here’s one of the pieces they created with the students.
Blizzard. In April.
Random building in Aberdeen that I found. Who wouldn’t want to buy furniture here?
An event at the Students Center where the Vocal Jazz Ensemble performed and art was auctioned off. Art by Sara Christensen Blair.
I didn’t start out staining wood–I painted it. The first piece I did was a raw wood toy chest-type thing. It was the first time I realized that I needed a creative outlet to offset work (and sometimes life). The pattern is a takeoff from a school assignment where we had to draw our versions of a mandala. It’s done in acrylics, and I’m not sure how many months it too to finish. I do remember mixing all the paint, and having to re-do parts that I did not like. I’ve also had to refinish it a couple of times, but once I put on several coats of Polycrylic (it’s a Minwax product) in 2003, it’s been fine ever since.
