Teen Summer Camp: Painting Portraits!

Portrait painting is an amazing way to learn about and understand people. And who is more important to understand than yourself?

In this class, we’ll not only delve into the fundamentals of portraiture, but we’ll learn about how are artistic choices define us even more than what we look like. The colors we choose, the marks we make- all of these express the way we think and feel.

We'll explore the medium of paint while learning essential techniques in a fun, supportive environment. Each day features a hands-on project, group discussion, and individual guidance from an experienced instructor. Appropriate for confident beginners and experienced artists alike!

At the end of this session, your teen will have a completed (or close-to completed) work on canvas: a wild and dynamic portrait that uses every artistic tool at our disposal to depict our inner selves just as much as our outer selves.

Creative Kids Summer Camp: Exploring the Natural World

4 days of process-based art focused on exploring creativity! We'll look to nature for inspiration to draw, paint and craft the plants and animals we see. We'll even incorporate natural elements like leaves and branches into the very process of creation! All the beauty and wonder we could ever need is right there for us to draw from: from the majestic dolphin to the humble squirrel; from a dandelion to a towering redwood. Weather permitting, we'll explore the grounds around Old Taylor High and peruse nature documentaries to gather ideas for our art!

Veronica Ortuño: All Flowers in Time Bend Toward the Sun

Veronica Ortuño: All Flowers in Time Bend Toward the Sun

All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun

This exhibition is comprised of 10 ceramic paintings based on self-portraits of my mother and

tías (aunts), translated through personal memory rather than direct likeness. The paintings

prioritize essence over realism. Each piece reflects their spirit and the way they live inside me.

They speak to the tenderness and resilience women carry at once.

The series was created during an intense period of grief following the passing of my

grandmother, the matriarch of our family, last year. Her absence unmoored our family and

reshaped our constellation. Rather than centering on loss, the work considers continuation, the

inheritance that moves quietly across generations.

The installation is anchored by a central sculpture representing the matriarchal core — my

grandmother and the ancestors before her: the source, the origin point, and grounding force. The

surrounding paintings radiate outward, forming a constellation that extends like a web or root

system. Lineage is presented as something active and expanding.

Ceramic is both delicate and enduring. It holds water and earth. It holds air and fire. It records

touch. Several works are imprinted with my grandmother’s hand-embroidered textiles,

transferring her labor directly into the clay. In this context, it becomes a vessel for remembrance,

something fragile yet permanent, much like lineage itself.

Alongside the paintings, I developed a custom incense for the exhibition. The scent serves as an

atmospheric extension of the work, designed to evoke presence. Smell is one of the most

immediate pathways to recollecting our history; it collapses time. The incense acts as an offering,

a quiet bridge between past and present, inviting viewers into an intimate space of reflection.

The exhibition becomes both altar and archive — a study of matriarchy and ancestral continuity.

About Face: Group Art Exhibition

About Face:

A Group Exhibition at Every Time Institute

What is the connection between the self we present to the world and the person we feel we truly are? Is there any such thing as a “true” self? How does our outward presentation reveal or obfuscate this conception? What does our appearance communicate about the culture we live in? In short: what, if anything, can we learn from looking at a person’s face?

‘About Face’ is a group exhibition opening June 5th at Every Time Institute featuring works from:

Rosalie Anderson

Betsy Kay Askew

Shawn Crawford

Lee Dockery

Allison Eve

Nicolas Nadeau

Sari Shryack
