Event Details

The Lemont Artists Guild is pleased to present talented artist Joan Geary, who will talk about her large scale artwork that is created with Oil and Cold Wax. Joan will bring samples of her work and demonstrate some oil and cold wax techniques she employs. 

Joan is a largely self-taught, abstract artist, and a native to Chicago. Using Oil and Cold Wax allows for the buildup of a rich history and patina through amassing layers of paint and excavation back through those layers. Luminosity and light have become trademarks of Joan's work, which explores color and shape inspired by nature and a connection to the divine.   

Joan exhibits in galleries in Chicago and the Midwest area and has been featured in publications including The Chicago Tribune, The Doings, and a book titled Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts, and Conversations by Rebecca Crowell and Jerry McLaughlin. She maintains a daily painting practice in her home studio in Willow Springs, IL.  She looks forward to talking about this fluid way of creating art, showing us her artwork, and sharing her experiences in exhibiting this beautiful artwork!  Learn more about Joan on her website.

Meetings are open to all; you do not have to be a Lemont Artists Guild member to attend.
