Amy Haggard Paint Night

In-Person

Join Amy Haggard, Bexley Art Library featured artist, in a paint along class and take home your very own handmade unique work of art! Space is limited and registration required.

Have you enjoyed Bob Ross Paint Alongs in the past? Then this event is for you! Join professional artist Amy Haggard, a.k.a. The Makist, as she leads a paint-along class in her unique style and shares about her artistic process. You will work on your very own 8.5x11" canvas board with acrylic paints, all provided by the library, while Amy demonstrates. At the end of the class, you'll have a beautiful, unique, handmade-by-you work of art to take home. This class is perfect for all skill levels, even if you've never before picked up a paintbrush! 

This program is being offered twice. Space is limited, masks are required, and registration is required. Please only register for one event date!

Amy Haggard is one of the 15 Franklin County artists featured in the Bexley Art Library. Check out one of Amy's original works of art, Midnight Garden (pictured), from the Bexley Art Library to hang in your home here. 

About Amy Haggard:

Amy Haggard, The Makist, turns vibrant colors, playful patterns, and organic shapes into abstract paintings, handmade jewelry, and accessories.  Color is her happy language, and she explores elements of nature in her simplified graphic style. Her work is constantly evolving through experimentation, but it is heavily influenced by her background in graphic design and art education. Working mostly in acrylics on canvas and wooden panel, Amy strives to make work that spreads joy.

Amy was born in Columbus, Ohio where she resides with her husband, four kids and dog. She graduated from Ohio Dominican College after studying English and Visual Communications while playing softball. She worked briefly for a local design and promotions company, but returned to school to obtain her teachings license. Amy taught elementary art for five years in the Columbus City Schools, but left teaching to stay home with her kids. Once her kids were in school Amy created The Makist to share her love of making art.

Note: This program is geared toward adults. While kids ages 8 and up are welcome to register with their adult at their adult's discretion, due to limited supplies, we cannot provide any painting supplies for kids who are not registered to attend the program.
