Artist Demonstration at 12:30 p.m.
Presentation and demonstration by artist Sandy Clift about the process of creating her series "While I Was Sleeping"
After retiring from thirty-one years of teaching elementary school in Fulton, NY, Sandy Clift returned to the State University College at Oswego to pursue art and has been exhibiting nationally and regionally ever since. This exhibition features a series of art called "While I Was Sleeping." In these works, Clift combines technically detailed drawing with unique surfaces creating using tissue paper, packaging paper, matte medium, glue, pastels, Caran d'Ache, watercolors and acrylics. About the imaginative subject matter, Clift writes in her artist statement, "I had a collection of plastic animals when I was a child. I still have some of them, and it is still amusing to consider what they might be up to while I am busy."
