Instructor Margie November, M.D. is a BAA member and practicing psychiatrist who will give you tips on dealing with the world of competitive art shows. Whether you're new to exhibiting or a long-established pro, that twinge you get in the pit of your stomach when a piece is not accepted hits all of us. Is there a voice in your head that says, "Why bother" or "I'm just not ready"? Do these feelings present an obstacle to exhibiting your work? Margie will help you deal with these feelings in a positive manner by using her own artwork and experiences with rejection as examples of how you can reach the path to acceptance.

Margie November, M.D. is a woman with two passions, Medicine and Art. She has practiced psychiatry, with a focus on the whole person, for over 30 years. She has a private practice in Ventura, where she practices Psychotherapy, Psychopharmacology, and Art Therapy.
Both her art and her psychotherapy are informed by her background: born and raised in a financially struggling New York City family, she vowed to never forget her roots. In addition, New York City provides a culturally diverse, cosmopolitan atmosphere, that is an education in and of itself.

She became serious about art twenty years ago when her young son was taking art classes. The teacher allowed her to sit in on the classes, and her education began. From there she had private lessons and attended as many workshops as she could.In addition she has participated in many juried shows, and had her first solo show in July, 2017.
For the last few years, she has been able to join both passions and has formed studio based art therapy groups. How lucky can a person get?
