I've just created a new website on Shutterfly. It's setup to view photos of my gardens, my dogs and my art. Recently added are photos of places my art classes have gone to paint. Plus a few other inspiring locations around the Piedmont area of North Carolina.

The photos can be downloaded or you can order very inexpensive prints directly from Shutterfly. You're all welcome to use any of my photos for your own artwork.

Check out the shutterfly gallery here: http://ginnieconaway.shutterfly.com





If you're local and want to visit my gardens to take your own photos, just call me.

Adults or Kids, Watercolor, Acrylic or Mixed Media

A new class schedule for my art classes can now be found here:

Class Schedule

Hello! Welcome to my new blog.

I wanted a way to share some of the happenings around here, and this seemed the best way to do it.
I'm not sure how often I'll have time to post, but I hope you'll stop back frequently to see what's going on.

Summer Camp

Most of my paintings are between 9x12 inches and 22x30 inches. So what am I doing painting a 20 foot train?

I've always heard, "Idle hands,,,,,,,,etc".

Several of my Forsyth Tech classes don't fill during the summer which leaves me with too much time on my hands. I was asked if I'd like to teach art to kids, so now I'm helping to develop an arts based summer day camp hosted by First Christian Church on Country Club Rd. here in Winston Salem.

I'm the art department, and part of my job has been to dress up the children's wing of the church. Hence, the train.
The camp is called Creative Palooza and we encourage the kids to 'get on board for creative learning'. We offer Art, Drama, Music, French, Spanish, American Sign Language, and Computer Skills.

It will be an interesting shift, teaching adults one day and elementary children the next. As I've found in all my teaching rolls, what I learn from the students is as valuable as anything I teach them.

Stay tuned for the next installment,
Ginnie
