New Art, New Class & More!

February 28, 2022 – 6:52 pm

Here’s Symbiosis III, my latest natural abstraction! Can you guess the inspiration? I’m fascinated by the branching patterns and relational connections in nature, especially in the forest. If you’re unfamiliar with Suzanne Simard’s amazing research on the “wood-wide web,” this podcast episode is a great place to start: https://onbeing.org/programs/suzanne-simard-forests-are-wired-for-wisdom/

I’m delighted to be offering weekly classes again! Hope you can join us on Wednesdays starting March 23 from 10am – noon at the Franklin Recreation Center for Painting in Water Media. Watercolor, acrylic, and ink are some of the media we’ll be exploring, and Among the Trees combines all 3. Find the details here: https://apm.activecommunities.com/wcpr/Activity_Search/painting-in-water-media/17489

This is Tales of the Understory, Part 3; it’s a watercolor sculpture in a shadow box frame. On March 19, you’ll have the chance to create your own if you join me at Cheekwood for Watercolors in 3D: Layered Nature Scenes. All supplies are included, even the frame! Learn more about the workshop here: https://cheekwood.org/learn/adult/

Curious about how I create my watercolor sculptures? Then sign up for Watercolors in 3D: Layered Nature Scenes on March 19 at Cheekwood, and learn how to make your own! We’ll meet from 1-4pm, and all supplies are included. This is the first time I’ve offered this workshop, so reserve your spot soon before it sells out! You can find more information here: https://cheekwood.org/learn/adult/

Nature can also be your inspiration for abstract painting, and you can explore the possibilities by joining us for Natural Abstractions on February 19 at the Franklin Recreation Center! You’ll find all the details here: https://apm.activecommunities.com/wcpr/Activity_Search/natural-abstractions/17084

Spending time surrounded by nature can reduce stress and promote well being, as you can discover for yourself by joining us for a relaxing Forest Bathing Walk at Beaman Park! The next walk is February 26 from 1-2:30pm, and your $12 payment includes a donation to the park. To register, call 615-862-8580 or email beamanpark@nashville.gov

New Classes & Show!

August 31, 2021 – 2:21 pm

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be teaching at the Franklin Recreation Center starting in October! They have big classrooms with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own table. I’ll be offering a 4-week version of Practical Color Theory that starts on October 21 and a Forest Bathing and Art workshop on October 16. Since the Center is in a park, we’ll be able to do the Forest Bathing there, then head inside for the painting part of the workshop. Both classes should be listed on their website by the end of this week; then you’ll be able to register here by searching for either one by name:

For specific links, you can also visit the Workshops and Classes page on my website next week; and feel free to email me with any questions! Here’s a view of the park; it’s right by the Harpeth River:

If you’re interested in seeing some of my art in person, come visit me at the seventh annual Art on the West Side event at the Gordon JCC on October 2 and 3! You can learn more here: http://artonthewestside.org/

I’ll be showing several watercolor sculptures, including Tales of the Understory, Part 3. Here’s a closeup:
