New Classes & Show!

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:

Exciting News & New Work!

I’m happy to announce that I’ve found a new location to teach classes, starting in the fall! Since it’s near a park, we’re also discussing the possibility of offering a Forest Bathing workshop. We’re still working out the details, so more specific information will have to wait until next month. It’ll be great to be teaching again!

My latest tunnel book is called We Are Not Alone. It’s inspired by walks in the woods and stories of the kinds of interconnections found there. What you see depends on your point of view, and each panel tells part of the story. Notice how different it looks from the other side:

And here’s a trip back in time featuring just the panels without the accordion sides:

A Question of Light

Lighting makes such a difference with my watercolor sculptures! This is Among the Trees, which I just delivered to the Curb Center at Vanderbilt University for the Art of Healing Show. Since I use natural light for photos, it takes some experimenting to find the right location and the right time of day to get the best image, especially since the light changes so much at different times of the year. You can compare the next 2 photos with the first one and pick your favorite:

It was exciting to hear about some of the many events they have planned in connection with this show, which will run for over a year. It opens on September 17, and you can learn more here: https://www.artofhealingexposition.com/

I had the pleasure of listening to a gifted storyteller this month. While she writes beautifully, and I’m happy to own a copy of Braiding Sweetgrass, the stories really come alive when you hear the author speak the words! The Nashville Public Library has an eAudiobook available, and it’s definitely worth waiting for your turn:
