Explore the expressive possibilities of ink and collage in this special class with European artist Cornelia Marin!

You’ll blur the boundaries between drawing, painting, and assemblage, learning how to balance control and chance, combining deliberate design with intuitive layering.

Whether working in monochrome or vibrant color, this class fosters experimentation, creative risk-taking, and a deeper understanding of how disparate materials can come together to form cohesive, compelling artwork.

No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Cornelia Marin is originally from Deva, Transylvania, and has lived in France for the past 33 years.

Marin’s work frequently features the female form and reflects a visual experience that is both expressive and dynamic through her use of multi-media, including inks, oils, pastels, acrylics, collages, ceramics, and mosaics.

Originally introduced to Roanoke through the Roanoke Saint-Lo Sister City Group, Marin returns frequently to her home away from home, sharing her artistic abilities and enthusiasm for fostering a love of the arts between cultures.

Registration required.

Members: $35 | General Public: $40

This class is generously supported by Roanoke Valley Sister Cities.
