Artist Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, January 27, 2017 from 5 - 7 pm

Art is a vehicle for exploring the exterior and interior landscape of our existence on this planet.

Viewing the world from a meditative practice,Suzanne Frazier calls herself a Contemplative Artist.

She invites the viewer into her collected emotional responses from years residing in the Colorado Mountains. Using images that are familiar from the environment to express in a nonverbal manner her life experience, she invites the viewer to gaze, without labels, into her shared contemplation.

To Suzanne, contemplative art is the product of creative expression rising from the pure joy of creating, grounded in a meditative connection to the radiance and perfection of spirit known only through one’s experience of being fully human.

Here's a video of the exhibition for those of you who can't stop by:

Here are photos taken at the Artists Reception on Friday, January 27, 2017. Thank you to everyone who attended and listened to my artist talk about "Contemplative Art". It was a delightful evening spent with friends.

Art Students League of Denver Exhibition

200 Grant St, Denver, CO 80203

Exhibition Dates: November 18 - December 28

In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Art Students League of Denver, the 30 X 30 Exhibition was held in the foyer of the art building. I remember when the Art Students League of Denver started in a warehouse in LoDo way back when I participated in the Live Figure Drawing gatherings on Wednesday nights. Now they are located in an elementary school building. It's a great space. I was delighted to be included in the show.

Contemplative Art Classes & Workshops

2023 Contemplative Art Workshops

If you have always wanted to draw in your own style in a supportive atmosphere or wanted to draw from a meditative point-of-view, these are the workshops for you.

As you begin to draw, you will quickly discover your inner intuitive process to create a personal expression you had no idea you could complete when you began to draw.

For participants with no art-making experience, you will have the opportunity to discover your creativity in a safe, supportive environment.

For experienced artists, you will find the workshops helpful to expand your creative experience to include a meditative approach to your personal expression.

Saturday Art Workshops

for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Artists

Color Theory for Artists

At each session, you will receive handouts about the history, meaning and associations with the six complimentary colors, and, white, black & gray. By the end of the workshop series, you will understand the subtleties of color through the experience of discovering your personal pallet. No art experience is necessary.

Saturday Art Workshop

Each month we will look at different ways to express yourself through composition, color theory and other topics to enhance your personal expression

Evolution of Abstraction

Each month we will look at one artist or a group of artists in detail to discover how their style contributed to what we know as "abstraction". We will analyze their style, choice of colors and themes. We will take inspiration from their perspectives and creativity to inspire our own personal expression. No art experience is necessary.

Workshops are scheduled from 10 am to 4 pm

Suzanne's Longmont Art Studio

1515 Main Street, Suite 201

Longmont, CO 80501

Between the morning and afternoon sessions, we will gather for lunch at a local restaurant.
