Along with her eye popping exhibit, "Nature's Beauty," at the ACA gallery, Marge Hall will also be conducting a workshop on May 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Addison Trail High School in room 140. She will teach painting techniques and how to "capture the light."

This workshop is brought to the community through the Addison Art Guild in collaboration with the ACA.
Marge Hall is a floral portrait artist, designer and an award-winning artist and teaches at the DuPage Art League in Wheaton. This nationally recognized artist has discovered her own vocabulary based on a pallet that combines elements of strong but almost mystical light with drama and photo-like realism. She has created a body of work that is bold and dramatic yet sensitive and intimate. Her vibrant color and luscious textures capture the spiritual qualities of each petal she paints. During her "Capturing the Light" workshop on May 20, 2017, Hall will give a demonstration followed by a hands-on experience. She will have a photo available that everyone can use for reference, or you can use your own photo. You can work in oil or acrylic paints.
