MK Powell

Education: Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA – BFA –

Attended various workshops including Maxine Masterfield, Ann Baldwin, Joseph Perrine and Ann Bagby.

Self-defined as a “decorative expressionism”, I often compare my art to the Faive school of painting. I’m enticed by other artists and my students. I learn a lot from them. Some of the artists I admire include, Lee Krasner, Jim Dine and Terence LaNove.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of painting methods, mediums and techniques.

I love experimenting and many times it does not turn out the way I thought it would, but I use that result to fuel me in a different direction. As I was in the beginning of my career, I’m eager to keep experimenting and continuing to find myself as an artist. I just love, “to do”, and to teach.
