~ EMBODIED ~ Art & Yoga Retreat
EMBODIED is an art & yoga retreat I am offering with yogi Laura Jesson Love. Together we aspire to co-create a visual & visceral guided journey using the body as a touchstone for creativity & healing. The retreat includes time outside in the forest or at the oceanside to reflect, stretch & collect. Foraged elements will be used as inspiration on your life sized raw canvas back at the painting studio. In the yoga gallery you'll have your own spot & Laura will guide us though poses that will alchemize our visual expression. We envision marrying the process of art making with the flow of yogic balance. The location is at the building where I have my own painting studio, a former elementary school with plenty of room to spread out, mountain views, stands of cedars, onsite parking, kitchen & more.

Abstraction & Representation ~ Painting Workshop
In this weekend workshop we will explore how to blend abstraction & representation in painting. During my formative years I made figurative & landscape paintings before settling into abstraction. In my current practice I enmesh resonant objects & figural elements within a framework of abstraction. If you crop any representational painting you will see an abstract composition. Then the perspective shifts from what you are painting to how it is painted. My intention is to arm you with techniques & hone your eye for design. Together we will ask questions & find answers by painting.

Painters Support Group ~ Online
In this monthly online Webinar I am available to foster a sense of community & to support painters. I envision a fluid dialogue where you will have a chance to share in the chat about the challenges & breakthroughs of being an artist (or wanting to be one). Wherever you are on this journey is welcomed. This is a safe space to be heard & understood. I can empathize with the beginnings, highs & lows from my 30+ year career & am open to sharing any wisdom that could help. You might want to describe what you are creating or raise questions about technique. When it feels right, I will shift gears & demonstrate or be on screen painting, knowing you are in your art making spot doing the same or... Feel free to listen with a hot cuppa, take in the conversation, let it percolate & intermingle with your own musings. I think we all need a someone in our corner to cheer us on. Making art is a rare & deserves to be celebrated. We are living in a society that doesn't always understand or appreciate artists so we need to band together & give each other enCOURAGEment!

Just Paint Experience for Queen's 55th Celebration
Collaborative Alumni Legacy Artwork & GOLDEN Just Paint Experience Marking the 55th Anniversary of Fine Art Program at Queen’s University Join fellow Fine Art Alumni and current Fine Art Students to participate in the creation of a Collaborative Legacy Artwork to mark the unforgettable occasion of the 55th Reunion of Queen's Fine Art Alumni. Our theme of Coming Home to ONTARIO HALL could bring back memories of people, sights, sounds, smells, images, or a feeling from the building itself. Perhaps there is a skill or technique you learned at Queen’s or your greatest learning moment to reflect upon. Participants can use any or all of these prompts as a catalyst for their contribution. Sara Robichaud, who is a Queen’s BFA '95 alumina and a Certified Working Artist for GOLDEN Artist Colors, will be on site as a resource and to facilitate a vibrant dialogue focusing on artists and their creativity. Sara will guide participants through products of interest, illuminate techniques, and create an open atmosphere as we delve into your questions and curiosities. It will be a chance to try new products, use those you already know and like to express your feelings about being back at Queen's. Alongside Queen’s Fine Art Faculty and with the help of current BFA student volunteers, this promises to be a GOLDEN opportunity! This event is FREE for participants registered for the 55th Reunion. However, we do need to know numbers for supplies, so please REGISTER separately for this event using the GOLDEN QR code or the link provided. AND bring your smock or leave your fancy clothes at home as this may get messy!
