Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
James Lavadour's art process does not paint (or print!) a landscape but, through the act of creation, reveals one. See how he transfers his layering technique from painting to printmaking in this #treasuresfromthevault.
VP & COO Amanda Shepard discusses the history of art through the realist homage works of Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso, now on view at #fwmoa, and Dellosso's desire to both acknowledge and tell the stories of past women in the arts.

It's #slowartday so we're taking a slow day in the studio and playing a game of I Spy! What do you notice in an artwork the longer you look? Inspired by Bertil Vallien, we made our own artworks full of objects to study at. Learn how in this #saturdaystudio by our Education Teen Intern, Madeline Rey.
A technique that creates a textured, tactile experience for the viewer, talking about impasto also makes us hungry! Learn more about the process of impasto in this #arttermtuesday and see it in action in works by #jihamoon and #tarawill #nowonview.
Our new print purchase is here! Take a closer look at Dyani White Hawk's lithograph on paper, Adorned (Blue), printed at Crow's Shadow.
