Meet Ophelia Staton
All people have a gift. What is done with the gift makes people divine.
Creating gives me the freedom to use my gift. I am Ophelia Staton, an abstract artist and educator living in Creedmoor, NC. This freedom of creating is like no other I have ever experienced, and I feel as though my gift is to inspire others to create.
I paint to express myself. Each mark, scribble or stroke of my brush is a conversation between me, my materials and the substrate. I show up and begin working with no preconceived notions or ideas of the end result. I see the process of painting as a journey and I am intrigued by the unknown of where each mark or brush stroke will take me. For this reason, I am in love with abstracts. Painting is a passion for me.
My work is displayed in 311 Gallery and The North Carolina Museum of Art Store in Raleigh, NC as well as private and corporate collections.

What to expect in this Mini course:
Abstracts are completely freeing to me. They provide such mystery and pure magic. In this class we will begin a journey into abstract paintings and make it personal to you. From the colors that you select to the marks that you make, we will build libraries so that these marks and colors choices have meaning and familiarity to you. We will conduct a series of warm ups so that we can loosen up with each exercise while gaining confidence to become more fearless in your approach to painting. Taking baby steps as we stretch our creative wings - painting, learning, growing and then, you are ready to soar!! Join me in Creating Fearlessly to begin your journey into abstract painting.
