Explore the exciting world of abstract painting by embracing the medium of acrylic paints, mixed media, and using color to unleash your own creative muse. Annabel Ruffell, a Los Angeles based artist is currently teaching a series of specialized workshops that focus on organic abstract painting. Her work has been exhibited from London to Los Angeles. The workshops highlight the methods and processes of organic painting. By painting from our emotions it becomes real, meaningful and therapeutic. On your journey to your inner artist, you will utilize colors, canvases, and tools other than brushes to tap what is inside of you, and in the end create a unique expression of yourself.

"We are all on a journey of self-expression and our artistic journey begins with a brush stroke!"

Dear Annabel; I look forward to continued meetings, to learn the joy of artistic expression through colors, textures and materials. It has been a delight to meet you, your beautiful soul, love of nature and goodness. Continued success in all your future endeavors, Very truly and gratefully,

Hi Annabel,
I wanted to "Thank You" for your enthusiasm and patience and openness in the class I took with you this summer. In using acrylics as its central material, it was beneficial to me, personally, as I felt that my creative juices got turned on again and I can move forward. Keep up the good work. I loved your readings and poetry too.

Hi Annabel,
Thanks for a copy of the poem... it is very moving. I too enjoyed the four weeks with you and of letting myself create again. It had been a long time and you made it easy, interesting and full of surprises. So many novel uses of paints, gels, adhesives, and even sparklies that I had not seen before. Thanks again and I look forward to following your success in the art world. For me I hope to continue to work with art now that you have opened the door.
