ENJOY THE PROCESS, LET GO OF EXPECTATION

For anyone, at any stage of their creative journey, If you have never picked up a brush or are a seasoned painter.  

Through guided techniques and somatic prompts, together we will create spaces of delight with acrylic on canvas. 

During this 2 hour session the instructor will sprinkle in some instruction to painting techniques while providing lots of room to play. The structure of the class is broken into 3 parts and each transition with be followed by a chance to reflect on the experience and how it relates to our life at large. Through this process we can begin to rewrite stories we have told ourselves about what is good vs bad art, and expand into greater states of creativity. 

All Materials Provided

Instructor:
Hannah is an artist raised from the soil of science who uses creative expression as a method for increasing awareness of self in relationship to surroundings. Her creative process typically begins with field studies of a specific site, including meditative observation and listening, plein air painting, botanical identification, movement sketches, and working with pigments from clay, plants, and insects on that land. From these studies and materials she builds a visual image in the form of a mixed media painting on canvas, as an offering of reverence and prayer to the more than human members of that ecosystem.
