ABOUT THE DA VINCI ARTISTS
Alicia Lockwood
A lifelong artist, Alicia has participated in the DaVinci program for several years. She enjoys having a place to work and getting advice and feedback from the instructor and her peers. Art provides a creative outlet and a way to share her unique ideas. Making art “definitely makes my brain work,” Alicia says of the process. “It’s something I’m good at, and I love it when it makes other people happy, too.”
Elizabeth Thompson
“Painting and drawing relaxes me and clears my mind,” says Elizabeth, who has enjoyed the benefits of making art her entire life. The DaVinci Studio provides a non-stressful activity that is consistently available. She utilizes a variety of media, including photography, oils, acrylics, and pastels. Besides art, her interests include history, Egyptian and Greek mythology, and the natural world; all of which provide subject matter for her artwork.
Stacey Sweet
An original DaVinci Studio artist, Stacey has been part of the program since its inception in 2001. Stacey has also performed in over 20 VSA theatre producations, a favorite subject of her artwork. Recently she has been exploring a variety of materials, including drawing and especially painting. Whatever she is creating with, Stacey says “art makes me feel happy!”
Tim Peterson
“I love it!’ Tim’s signature exclamation is testament to the enthusiasm he brings to the DaVinci STudio each week. He arrived to the program a few years ago with several notebooks full of drawings. Then new to painting, he embraced acrylics with gusto, and is also working with watercolors. He enjoys the freedom and flow of paint, and has added it to the materials he uses at home. Tim likes to learn new techniques to add to his repertoire and bring to DaVinci.
Aaron
A DaVinci artist for several years, Aaron is quiet and focused when he is working. He has an eye for line and can finish a piece in one session. He says, “I like to watch and draw anime. I prefer to work with colored pencils. My favorite anime character to draw is Megumi Oumi”. He has many variations of the character Megumi Oumi and he will occasionally work on a different subject or theme.
Doug
Doug uses colorful markers on large paper. He enjoys DaVinci’s social setting for the process of art-making, and especially connects to other participants through a shared love of listening to music while creating. Doug is a participant in the Client Assistance Programm (CAP).
Eric
Eric is very social in the DaVinci studio and says, “I like to let my imagination go wild and create new characters and stories.” He enjoys working with paper and pencil, but has been willing to experiment with acrylic paints. He has worked on a few storyboards using his characters. He also likes to discuss and plan “movie crossovers with [his] favorite characters”.
ReGina Cummings
ReGina is well known for her playful and imaginative cat paintings. “I love to make something pretty,” she says. Besides making art, ReGina’s other hobbies of travel and snorkeling are reflected in her underwater paintings, another favorite subject area. She’s a DaVinci regular because it’s “something I enjoy doing, and it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something.”
Tommy D’Alessandro
Tommy is one of our younger and newer DaVinci artists. He is a cheerful, playful artist who enjoys working in pen and ink during sessions. He likes animated characters and creates colorful images with letters and abbreviations and sometimes small characters and lines. He likes back scratches and enjoys the social aspects of group.
