Self with Red Eye Glasses, 2010 chalk, pastels, markers, pencil, charcoal, and acrylics on Rives BFK, 22" x 15"
A demo from yesterday's portraiture class where I'm teaching at The Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. The homework is to do an exaggerated self/self portrait.
I am an artist, an art teacher, a mother of five children, and a grandmother of four, and I live with my husband and our two cats in the woods of Woolwich, Maine. I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com
