This is a 4-day workshop, taking place Monday, July 7 thru Thursday, July 10 from 6 to 8:30 pm each day.

Have you always wanted to make your own mural, but don’t know where to begin? This class will explore the process of mural making to fast track you on your artist journey.

Master artist Patrick Maxcy will teach you 6 different techniques for transferring your mural design to the wall. The class will discuss painting materials, tips, tricks, techniques, scaling artwork, layout, safety, and everything in between. With Patrick’s expert guidance, the class will collaborate on a mural to paint together. This is an excellent workshop for all skill levels, including artists who want to learn how to take their studio work onto the wall.

For ages 16 and older. We recommend this class for students who already have some art experience.

About the Teaching Artist:

Patrick Maxcy is a painter, muralist, illustrator and adventurer known for his whimsical, animal-centered work. His paintings tell stories of nature, wildlife and humanity’s relationship with it.

Patrick first found inspiration for his work in the ocean near where he grew up. That love of sea creatures and the shore can be found in his work alongside the moodiness and greenery of the forest with land animals both big and small. Patrick’s art is heavily inspired by his travels throughout the world. His paintings juxtapose playfulness alongside more serious detailed symbolism. The work he creates explores child-like wonder and curiosity sparked by the experience of being a father.

With a professional career spanning almost two decades, Patrick has painted murals all over the U.S. as well as South America and Africa. His fine art paintings can also be found at galleries throughout the country. Patrick has done work for numerous organizations including The Audubon Nature Institute, Muhammad Ali Center and WildAid. When he’s not traveling painting murals, Patrick is creating canvas work and illustrations in his studio. He is always looking for inspiration for his next work through nature and adventure.
