Accidentally Art: Rockwall Art League to host Meranda Dawkins demo

ROCKWALL, TX (Oct.13, 2022) The Rockwall Art League is honored to host artist Meranda Dawkins as their feature artist for October.

Meranda shares a bit of her background and passion:

Accidentally Art – Come to my art demo at RAL to learn why my art is an accident…

I received my bachelors in art education from Oklahoma Baptist University and a Masters of Art Education from Boston University. I have been teaching art in public school for 22 years – this is my first year at Cain Middle School in Rockwall ISD where I teach Craft and Sculpture.

In 2019, I discovered a painting competition called Art Battle that reinvigorated and formed my art practice. My demo will include a discussion about the resulting development of my practice, a speed painting demo, and samples of my current work.

I am currently participating in local markets where I live paint and sell paintings, prints, and macramé. Additionally, I am preparing for an upcoming show at the Deep Ellum Art Co. and sitting on a planning committee for a new art fair in Deep Ellum.

I am inspired by the closeness I feel with nature – I seek adventure and inspiration in Colorado every chance I get. My current series is inspired by both the Lupine of Colorado and the Texas Bluebonnet – an exploration of not only color but also of depth and layers.

The meeting will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, October 26 at Harry Myers Community Center, 815 E. Washington St., Rockwall, TX 75087. The public is welcome.
