Many of you know that my mom taught me many things about watercolor and ink - but haven't had a chance to see her work. She is an amazing artist - and I'm so proud to be her daughter. Read below about our experiences collaborating on this talk.
You are invited!

Our Creative Lives as
Mother/Daughter Artists
Tuesday, March 18th 2-3pm
Free
and open to the public
Join Melissa and Janet Klein, mother and daughter
artists who share insights about art, creativity and the mother/daughter
relationship. They will discuss secrets about both the differences and
similarities in their creative approaches and offer tips to cultivate your
inner creative self.
Melissa Klein is a Sequim-based artist and art teacher
whose is concerned with mythology - invented and from traditional sources. As
an artist, she works in a variety of mediums including a unique style of
crackle-milk paint layered with mixed media that she created. Janet Klein
illustrated plants from Panama to Hawaii and has taught botanical drawing in
six institutions.

This has been such a joyful collaboration: we have
laughed so hard that we cried! There were so many memories: from the pet brick
to the imaginary friends, the toothbrush down the drain ‘by mistake,’ the
flocked wallpaper…. And deeper things – how the shyness we shared as children
led to vivid inner lives.
In the process of creating this talk, we have
discovered so many elements we didn’t know about each other’s childhoods,
creative process and the stories behind our works. Melissa shares, “You can
know someone your whole life, and ‘think’ that you know her, and realize it’s
just the tip of the iceberg. This collaboration has opened new avenues in our
mother-daughter dialogue and has made us even closer.”
Join us to explore ways to enhance your creativity and
have a dialogue with your parent or family that is “outside the norm.”
