Cactus Wren Decorative Artists
Phoenix, Arizona
A Chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters
The
Cactus Wren Decorative Artists chapter of the Society of
Decorative Painters was chartered in 1976 with 10 members.
The painting mediums
enjoyed by the members include acrylic, oil, watercolor,
colored pencil and
fabric painting.
The membership is made
up of beginning painters through national teachers.
Our purpose, as well as the purpose of the SDP, is to
stimulate interest in and appreciation for decorative
painting; to recognize diversity of and excellence in the
art form; and to serve as the resource center for all
aspects of decorative painting. Decorative painting is a
diverse art form utilizing a variety of techniques and media
to decorate functional and non-functional surfaces. Because
of the systematic methods employed, contemporary decorative
painting is a highly teachable art form. The patterns or
freehand designs allow a high degree of success without
academic training or inherent drawing ability.
