Mary Beth's Classes

Mary Beth Looney, a Virginia native, has stubbornly kept a foot placed on each side of the art world: art making and art history. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design as well as a Master of Arts in Art History from the University of Georgia. She has taught art, art history, and honors communication courses at the college level as well as held administrative roles. She is an avid practitioner of flipped classroom techniques and role-playing games in higher education pedagogy. She has recently published a game for educational or parlor use, centered on the question of whether art is ever worth dying for, entitled Monumental Consequence.

Looney has exhibited her painted, drawn, printed and mixed media work in a variety of exhibitions over the last thirty years. Presently, her artistic and research interests include intaglio printmaking, book design and construction, the protection of art and cultural artifacts, art restoration, and art of the 1930s. Churches are her museums and museums are her churches.

After living in Rome, Italy for six years with a scientist, some mid-century antiques, a lot of books and two adopted Roman cats, she has returned with all of them to Atlanta, Georgia. You can find her online at www.marybethlooney.com or on her blog at talkofmichelangelo-beth.blogspot.com

Carrie’s Classes

More than just a form of artistic expression, Carrie’s creative process has served as a profound means of personal transformation. She views her artwork as a mirror to her inner world, navigating and processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Embracing the freedom to declutter her mind and surrender to the creative energy, she naturally gravitates towards utilizing the materials at her disposal - be it paint, paper, reclaimed wood or ephemera - in order to craft each unique piece. Through art, Carrie has managed to transform moments of uncertainty into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
