Explore John Isiah Walton’s “Black Paintings” series in this Artist Workshop. In the signature style of Walton, build colorful imagery on a black canvas base with bright acrylic or oil sticks. Investigate the role avatars play in online personas and create a cyber-inspired portrait of yourself, friend or loved one.

The workshop includes a guided-tour of Knowing Who We Are: A 20th Anniversary Exhibition, made possible by the Terra Foundation for American Art. All materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a reference image of themselves, a friend or family member to paint.
