Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation
Bunny S. Paivine
My name is Claire Sutton Paivine, but everyone knows me as Bunny. I was a high school art teacher in Salinas for 30 years where I taught at the continuation school. All the students were considered "at risk." I loved it, teaching self esteem through art. I am currently retired, but I still teach art in Prunedale at a senior center. I also teach an art class once-a-month at Sovino Wine Bar and Merchant in Monterey.
I love to draw and paint. My techniques have evolved while working with senior citizens. They say I teach "methods of madness." I do a lot of finger painting and using a palette knife. Experimenting with combining colors directly on the canvas frees my process and creates happy accidents and "illusions of perfection" in my art.
