Paint to Music

Join us for an on-going experiment with art as exercise or an exercise of art! Let the music move you to play with color at an aerobic pace to get your blood pumping and creative juices flowing!

Wednesdays, 6 – 7:30 p.m., $25 (Includes Open Studio after. Included in the monthly pass.)

Art Church – Art as a Spiritual Practice

Slow down and be with yourself through art making. A rich morning that feeds your spirit, rests your body, quiets your mind and helps you remember who you are! For those who wish to explore artmaking as a spiritual pursuit. Today there are many who don’t feel called to religion or church but long for a spiritual connection. Here we will use the arts to have a conversation with ourselves and connect to our longings and gifts. This is not about religion, yet in the inquiry you may choose to make connections to your religious beliefs. No previous art experience necessary. Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – Noon, $25 (Included in the monthly pass.)

Art Happy Hour

It is like Kindergarten for adults! Great way to start your weekend, I will have materials set out and you can come play, meet new people, hang with your friends, enjoy conversation or just relax. Play with paint, collage, sand trays, music, karaoke, poetry, doodling, and more! Drinks by donation. Light munchies. 4th Fridays, 7-11:00 p.m. $25 Drop-in for all or a little. (Included in the monthly pass.)

Writer’s Open Mic

Come join other artists and present a piece in process for feedback. Don’t worry, you will decide what kind of encouragement you want. If you don’t have something ready to share, come be a receiver of the gift and support other artists. All disciplines of the arts invited, visual, movement, writing, music and drama. Every 2nd Friday (Except 2/14/2020) 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. $10 suggested donation (Included in the monthly pass.)

Women’s Expression Session

How are you at taking time for you? This is a morning attitude adjustment with art… you can take a de-stress work break, drop the kids at school and come play, return to your to-do list with a new outlook.  I take care of the project & materials you just come play. Tuesdays 10 – noon, $25 (Included in the monthly pass.)

Growing Your Own DAILY Art Practice – Starter Workshop

Have you had the idea that making some sort of art DAILY would feed your soul? AND, has it been difficult to get started or keep going? OR you don’t know what project to do or where to start? Then this group is for you! I am currently beginning my 4th year of 365 Days of Art projects. I have learned what works for me and I want to help you learn what will work for you. Use the support of the group to get you started and keep you going. A daily art practice can reduce stress, help you feel more creative and art-filled, build self esteem and be good for you all around! Daily art practices can be in all disciplines of art: visual, dance, music, writing or drama. A small investment in living a BIG life! No previous art experience necessary. Call for dates and/or sign up. Usually offered several times a year.

 

Pet Loss is Real Loss

Our animals can be like family members and the death of a pet can be very painful, often with little space to grieve. If you have lost a beloved pet, either recently or long ago, and would like to take time to honor them, this group is for you. Join us as we come together to honor creatively the passing of our animal friends.  We will use simple art making processes to explore our grief and also look to the art for resources that can help us move forward in our life. No previous art experience necessary. Call for dates and/or sign up. Usually offered once per year.

 

Also available:

ONE-ON-ONE INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS, Couples and families:

1 or 1.5 Hour sessions, great support for your life. Working with all life issues such as health, work, relationship, parenting, grief, depression, stress, trauma, and unblocking creativity. No previous art experience is necessary.

If you are interested in working with me individually, as a couple or family, using the Expressive Arts I offer a free 30-minute consultation so you can try it out and see if it is a good fit.
