Express It Art

My name is Denise Thompson/Coutu. I’ve been teaching art classes and giving parties for over 10 years. I love working with kids. I’m a mom, and have also had my own daycare. I also come from a family of teachers. I get great satisfaction from seeing my students grow, both in their skill level and their understanding of the arts. I grew up in Hudson, NH and studied mainly in Boston. My educational experience includes a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Tufts University; a Fine Arts Diploma from the Museum School in Boston (5 yrs), and Certificates in Graphic Design and Web Design from schools in Manchester, NH. I have been a graphic design professional for over 18 years. I worked in the art department in MA working with digital files and preparing them for press. I have also worked in the theatre industry in Boston, which was fun and exciting. My other professional skills include scenic painting, oil painting and drawing, sign making, jewelry making, clay work, mosaic making, sewing and cake decorating. I would love to teach anyone who is interested in learning the skills to make beautiful works of art. I’m now offering After School Care Program, Summer Classes, art classes and private birthdays or other party options. Please contact me to discuss dates you’d like to plan an event. If you need a referral, please see my Express It Art Facebook pages’ testimonials or ask the current or past three charges of the Hudson School Board, who all know me as a friend and as a parent of past students. I also know many wonderful teachers and daycare owners in the Hudson area, and would be happy to put you in touch with them for a reference. Gift certificates are also available if you would like to give a gift. And if you’d like to have a private party of friends, just message me to get that arranged.

Our first meeting of 2023 occurred Wednesday, Jan 11! Our guest artist demonstrating was Roxsane Tiernan. Roxsane Tiernan was born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area. She became an international educator teaching high school and marketing for the district in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Mexico. She is a Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists showing in over 70 juried shows. She studied Applied Arts at Capilano College in the mid-seventies and started painting seriously in 2000 when she joined the FCA and Burnaby Artists Guild. She really likes the challenges of interpreting local nature using chigiri-e—Japanese torn paper collage. She gives workshops and lesson in this technique even in Finland or Manitoba. Roxsane joined the North West Collage Society which is centered in Seattle. Her work was featured on their posters and invitations. She has won several awards locally and internationally mostly for mixed media or chigiri-e pieces. You can find her work on Facebook Roxsane K.Tiernan; on both the Burnaby Artists Guild and South Delta Artists Guild facebook pages as well as roxsanetiernan.com on My Art Club.com; www.roxsanetiernanartandsoul.com and https://roxsanetiernanartandsoul.com/writing. ART and SOUL has her poetry and artworks together. Meetings take place 6-8:45 pm every second Wednesday of the month except in Summer. Check the calendar below or our Facebook/Meta page for details on our guest artist. For the time being, we ask that you remain masked while indoors to protect some of our more vulnerable members. Please note that the Cultural Centre prohibits food and drink indoors, but we may be able to use the roof garden during the break.
