Wellness Through Art
Join us at The Marilyn Rose Center for a day of creativity and self-care! This event is all about finding balance and peace through artistic expression.
Two resident artists will walk you through their individual techniques, while walking you through the wellness benefits of art.
Blue is an Army veteran and Indianapolis-based artist who discovered his art through pain therapy at the VA hospital. There, recreational therapies provide art workshops for veterans in the pain clinic as an outlet for main management. He quickly found a deep connection to art and found places to grow his artistic practice on his own. He is now Director of Operations at the Marilyn Rose Center. He sells his work in exhibits and online, and supports other veterans through creative workshops at the VA.
The Artsy Alchemist (aka Angie) is a self-taught artist who found her love for painting through her personal healing journey. Professional chemist by day, creating art provides her with a deep way to process her feelings. She has taught many painting classes since 2020. She absolutely loves walking people through their discomfort and empowering them to make it out the other end with a beautiful piece of their own unique art.
Blue will first walk you through his alcohol ink and tile process, creating the background of the piece. He will share his creative process on how he uses art to manage his physical pain. Angie will follow with guiding you though an acrylic painting for the foreground. She will share her creative process on how art helps her with emotional pain. We will then clear coat each piece and frame your art to take home!
