Chris Cozen captures lush greenery and cool breezes in this water-media creation, which displays her love of color, line and pattern. “Play is work and work can be fun!” says Chris Cozen, artist, instructor and author, who will be the focus when she appears as demonstrator for the monthly meeting of the Loma Linda Cultural Art Association*, on Sunday, March 4, 2018 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Self-taught as a mixed media artist, she credits years of teaching “mostly with or about kids” for her understanding of “the value of play.” She lives and works mostly in Southern California. Since leaving her first career in education, Chris has worked with the Golden Artist Colors, Inc. which is a manufacturer of artist acrylics, on their WORKING ARTIST team. She is currently one of Golden’s Artist Educators, in which role she continues the experimentation and innovation in use of art materials which characterizes her work. Cozen and a colleague, Julie Prichard, teach online classes at The Land of Lost Luggage. Their book, Acrylic Solutions: Exploring Mixed Media Layer by Layer is popular among mixed-media artists, as are the instructional DVDs that pair with the book. Loma Linda Cultural Arts Association meetings take place at the Senior Center, which is at the southeastern corner of the Loma Linda Civic Center complex (at 25541 Barton Road), in the city of Loma Linda. The public is welcome; a $5.00 donation is requested from non-LLCAA* members. There is no charge for Loma Linda University Students.
