Exploring Abstract Self-Portraits: Using Mixed Media to Present the Self

Join me and explore some techniques to depict yourself through colours, textures, and forms rather than realistic features. Find new ways to show who you are through art that test the boundaries of self-expression.

Some supplies are included. If you'd like, it is encouraged to bring materials you believe to be reflective of your identity.

About the instructor:

Sami McKay (she/her) is a mixed media artist and writer based in Toronto, Ontario.

Her work is deeply symbolic and leans on themes of curiosity and exploration, (dis)connection, and navigating the human experience.

Fixated on the abstract and strangeness of our existence, Sami looks to share the paradoxical, existential, and confusing aspects of life, death and coping with the conditions of being.

She aims to display through art and writing, the rawness, complexity and beauty of our existence
