In the midst of the holiday season, it can be so hard to find a moment for yourself as you think about everyone else. My goal is to get you to take a respite from the hustle and bustle and recenter, even if just for an hour and a half! Join me for an evening to slow down, reset, and unwind. We'll go through a few mindfulness exercises, listen to some good music, and play with watercolor simply for the goal of exploring the medium in a way that is coming naturally to you. Think of me as your zen tour guide for the night :)A note on the art element: In the years I’ve spent both teaching and painting, I’ve come to notice a few things:1) A lot of people think artistic talent is something you’re born with2) People like rules and structure and many of us have forgotten how to play3) We are very quick to say things like “I tried it once and was awful,” “but mine won’t look like yours,” and “I wish I could do that”I’ve been in disagreement with all of those notions for a very long time now. As kids, we were all so curious to try new things and to do so without fear of making mistakes. We played, we fumbled, we messed up, we tried again, and we did it without any guilt or embarrassment. I know adulthood doesn’t mean to make so many of us so rigid, but it happens anyway. If I could encourage all of us to do one thing, it would be to shift that mindset. Adulthood should remain full of unencumbered curiosity.So much of my art comes from attempting to tap back into that child-like sense of play and curiosity- knowing that there’s going to be a lot of mess along the way, and I want to encourage others to do the same! My art is my way of unwinding, giving my brain a break, and getting lost in something that feels good. It’s where I recenter and declutter my heart and brain.I can't wait to unwind with you!
