OUR WORKSHOPS

Workshop overview

Paint Your Essence

It is all about YOU and creating your inner landscape. Your landscape is the fertile ground to discover YOU and to create change. Color, imagery, and symbolism will be your guides in this expressive painting workshop. This workshop is an opportunity for you to connect to YOU – your Expression. How does it get any better than that?

With different themes every month, we use art to learn about ourselves in a fun, playful way. Welcome.

IMAGINE YOU’RE THE IDEA

Imagine you’re the idea. that you’re a parking meter. How does it feel when coins are inserted in you? What is it like when you’re “expired.” How could you be easier to use?

Imagine that you’re a box of cereal on a grocery shelf. How can you be more attractive? What can you do to force the grocer to give you more self space?

How would you feel if you were the idea you’re developing?
