Hybrid Artist Workshop – Indianapolis, IN

March 14 — 16, 2026

This Hybrid Artist Workshop is a three-day, in-person experience for photographers who want to explore painterly, mixed media artwork using a hybrid workflow that blends modern digital tools with traditional finishes.

Co-taught with Judy Reinford, this workshop focuses on transforming existing photographs into painterly, art-forward pieces through intentional compositing and creative decision-making. The techniques taught are not subject-specific and can be applied across a wide range of photographic work, including pets, people, and fine art imagery.

In the classroom, Judy leads instruction on using Photoshop and generative compositing tools to enhance photographs and build cohesive foundations designed for print. The emphasis is on control, artistic intent, and creating images that translate successfully into physical artwork.

The workshop then moves from screen to canvas. I guide participants through materials, preparation, and hands-on acrylic embellishment, adding texture, depth, and a hand-finished quality that elevates the final piece into a mixed media artwork.

This workshop is limited to twelve participants, allowing for meaningful interaction, guided instruction, and collaborative discussion while still providing individual support throughout the process.
