SPECIAL CELEBRITY GUEST JANE SEYMOUR
A multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner, recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, Jane Seymour has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Seymour has reached success with a career encompassing international movie stardom with lasting films such as “Somewhere in Time” and “Live and Let Die,” and was awarded a Golden Globe for her role as “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.”
Jane Seymour is a true Renaissance woman.
Not only is she a talented actress, but she is also a gifted painter in both watercolors and oils.
Her love of art and color has led to great success as a painter in watercolors and oils, and as a designer of products from botanicals to home décor.
“We’re honored to have Jane join us. She is not only a celebrity but a plein air painter herself. “ Says Eric Rhoads, Founder of PleinAir magazine. “All VIP attendees will have a photo opportunity with Jane” and she plans to paint with us during the week, and will be on stage as well.
This is a rare opportunity to see one of the most accomplished and celebrated film artists of our time, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

2-DAY PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOP WITH LORI PUTNAM
Saturday, May 20th, 2023 – 9am to 5pm
Sunday, May 21st, 2023 – 8am to 1pm
“The Light Changed” – It is all about the light: Its direction, color, and intensity. Lori Putnam will teach you her successful strategies for capturing that ever-changing light in your landscape paintings. All mediums welcome.
Do you chase the light? There are a few simple steps to ensure you never do that again. Do your dark objects in the light look too dark? Learn how to mix the color you should be using instead. And let’s not forget, not every day is filled with brilliant blue skies and harsh shadows. There is so much more out there to paint! Soft-light, cool light, strong light, blue light. No, that is not a Dr. Seuss book, but it should be. Once you begin to see it, you will be excited about new ideas and possibilities. Learn how to compose and paint overcast, flat, and sun-filled days; morning, mid-day, afternoon, and night.
Lori will teach you to understand and interpret light effects in the landscape. Using slides, demonstrations, and lively discussions, you will leave the workshop with greater confidence and the tools needed to capture a specific place, time, and mood.
You must be registered to attend PACE.

Invaluable! The demos and interaction with other artists also made for an excellent experience. Thank you!
The demos were fantastic and taught me several new techniques. The instructors were all very helpful, supportive and encouraging. The Art Marketing Boot Camp started each day with great ideas to sell and promote your art. All this contributed to four art sales from paintings that were inspired by this convention. Looking forward to PACE 2019!
PACE made me focus on the skill sets I needed to be a much better painter both inside and out.
