Fall still life 3 hour workshop with Giorgiani Mathey
Fall Still Life Workshop
In this introductory oil painting workshop, participants will paint a realistic fall themed still life using classical and modern oil painting techniques.
No previous painting experience necessary!
Bio
Born in Lima, Peru. Mathey moved to California in 2007. She graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and has since taught art classes and worked at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara and Calcolor Academy in San Jose. Her work has been exhibited in California at the deYoung Museum in San Francisco and the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica among others.
Mathey’s artistic exploration ranges from large-scale abstraction rooted in process, abstracted landscapes, en plein air and alla-prima still lifes.
About The Process
I'm interested in medium specificity; the quality and value of the materials being just as important as the color, composition, and overall content of the work. My painting process begins with pastel sketches and charcoal drawings derived from nature. I look for interesting color interactions in landscapes and people. I also notice lines and patterns that come up in my paintings in the form of marks using a wide range of brushes and palette knives. Color studies and sketches are put aside when I paint, they inspire me and get me started. Ultimately, intuition and trust take over leading to a series of investigations of color and composition which facilitate my process.

Sunnyvale Thanksgiving Dinner and Movie featuring “House of Gucci”
This event is our Thanksgiving Dinner event for $30 entrance (with a glass of wine, one drink and a slice of pumpkin pie included).
House of Gucci is not available for streaming so Attendees will purchase their movie premiere tickets (~$16 for Digital) at the brand new AMC Sunnyvale for the 8:00pm showtime.
The link to purchase tickets is below so everyone is in the same theatre with the correct tickets!
The venue will be at the beautiful Savoy Club Room and the swimming pool area, which will be the first time we’re hosting an event here!
Our chef Cheryl will be making a delicious stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for all to enjoy.
We may use a new Yoder YS640 smoking grill to cook the turkey, for a delicious smoke flavor!
House of Gucci is based on a true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci. Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder, we see what a name means, what it's worth, and how far a family will go for control.
The film has an all-star cast, with Lady Gaga, Adam Shriver, Al Pacino and is directed by well known director Ridley Scott.
It’s the story of how Patrizia Reggiani (played by Lady Gaga) the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, plotted to kill her husband (played by Adam Shriver), the grandson of renowned fashion designer Guccio Gucci.
Attendees will purchase their own AMC Sunnyvale ticket (8:00 pm show, ~$16 Digital) at:

About Kenneth Tyger:
"Embraced by the inspirational and enchanted southwestern New Mexico landscapes, Kenneth Tyger’s passion for painting emerged. His paintings and drawings reveal the wonder and sincere devotion he feels towards nature.
Although Kenneth is a native of Pennsylvania, his soul was born in New Mexico. His gift, a remarkable ability to paint, was unearthed shortly after his arrival in New Mexico at age sixteen. Kenneth was guided by his uncle, L.M. Shinn, a renowned artist and owner of Bosque Studio Art Gallery. Shinn provided a solid foundation for Kenneth as he entered into his journey as an artist.
Other influences on Kenneth’s early artistic development were the rich heritage of New Mexico’s Spanish and Mexican cultures. He is also grateful for the opportunity he has had to observe through his close association with New Mexico’s Isleta Reservation, the Native American’s great respect and appreciation for the beauty of the land.
Kenneth Tyger has exhibited in local, national, and international art shows and has been awarded honors. His paintings have been purchased in local and international art exhibits.
As an artist, Tyger hopes to restore in his audience an awareness of their senses. He hopes to artistically present the problems that threaten our ecosystems: from dolphins and whales affected by sonar intrusion from noise pollution, to invasive species wiping out native plants and wildlife. He wants to shake loose the numbing lack of awareness of our people, as well as cultures around the world to the truth of what they see before them."
