Bring iconic portraits to life with vibrant paint & collage-- POP art style!
Want your team to adopt the mantra #BeLikeBeyonce? #LiveLikeLizzo? #BossLikeBillie? #ShakeItLikeShakira?
Okay, okay. Maybe not that last one. LOL.
Let me guide your peeps through the creative process as we use bold paint and collage to transform a portrait of your team’s most beloved icon– or the icon they aspire to be.
We will use gel pens, bold acrylic paint, paper and fabric collage elements to create 8×10 inch pop art style works of art featuring literally any famous or influential figure that resonates with your company. Seriously. Anyone. I won’t judge. #DwightSchrute

Review(s)
“Really great session! The team had so much fun. Only reason I gave the value a 3 is because this was more just a fun get together with the team. Which I guess brings some value but not really adding business value. Everyone had such a great time and Whitney was great. ”
My Background
Whitney grew up in small-town Arkansas, where she graduated from University of Central Arkansas with a Bachelors of Science in Education in 2008. After teaching elementary school for six years, she moved to Austin in 2014 and used the transition as an opportunity to immerse herself in creating art— beginning with her first series of work, "The Matriarchs" inspired and influenced by modern women.
Whitney is a contemporary mixed-media artist, living and working in Austin, Texas, working with vintage portraiture photography to explore phases and facets of feminine identity. Whitney has solo-exhibited at Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin— a collection titled, “Feminine Grandeur.” Her work has also been featured in The Austin Chronicle, Austin CultureMap, Spark Magazine, Society6 Blog-- Saints and Sinners, and Saatchi Art Blog, Canvas, -- 100 Voices, 100 Artists.
Whitney is represented by Maestri Gallery in Dallas, Texas.
What Team Members Should Bring
The Setup For the Virtual Session
Virtual sessions will take place in my home art studio in Austin, Texas. There is ample natural light, but depending on the time of day, I may supplement with a light ring for greater brilliance. The Zoom call will spotlight my work table so that attendees can see the entire process of creating, step by step.
