"Paintover" means painting on top of a black and white photocopy. In this workshop we will take photocopied image(s) and turn them into paintings! Personal images means to me - photos from ones family photo album.

Personal Image Paintover is a great way to memorialize your family history. You could paint on the photocopies in a traditional paint style OR you could create fiction. I like to use my family images to tell stories.

Ideas: You might want your loved ones flying to the moon in a vintage toy plane. Or, perhaps take part in as a ringmaster in a circus. Maybe grandma wants to be part robot. Or fly without wings over a sleepy town like in a Marc Chagall painting. Your baby or pet can drive cars without a driver's license!! Your dad's head could to be a Christmas tree topper. Perhaps your teen longs to be a spaceman but with a turtle's body...who knows! It's all possible.
