Program Details
Unleash your inner artist in this introductory class to plein air painting, led by local artist and featured muralist, Kat Cadena. In French, plein air means “open-air”, so participants will get to sketch and paint from real-life landscapes in the Garden. Watermelon Agua Fresca and some snacks will be available for folks to enjoy while they paint. Participants will receive a 8 x 10” canvas to create their artwork and take home. Contact [email protected] with questions.
About the instructor: Kat Cadena is a multimedia artist, celebrated muralist, and independent illustrator. She was raised by multiple generations of strong, proud and fierce mestiza women in San Antonio, Texas. Cadena’s brightly colored portraits and larger than life murals depict unflinchingly emotional subjects. Surrounded by monumental, flowing medicinal herbs and flowers, her works are a nod to a simultaneous keeping of tradition and an intentional breaking of cycles.
