About the event
Charlene Brown’s love of art was nurtured from a young age by her grandmother Marian Winston, who was an artist, teacher, and kindred spirit. Throughout Charlene’s formative years, Marian encouraged her to explore various techniques and mediums, making each new project exciting and magical. Charlene went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Earlham College in Indiana, and since then has utilized her creative energies teaching art to children and adults.

She has studied with such notable artists as Pam Newell, William Schneider, Lori Putnam, Dan Gerhartz, Carolyn Anderson, C W Mundy, David Slonim,…
