Upcoming Show, Workshops & More!

Come to Cheekwood on May 7, and learn how to make a watercolor tunnel book! This simple structure folds flat and then expands into a pop-up theater. For inspiration, we’ll view part of the new COLORSCAPES exhibition in the gardens before heading to the studio.

Learn how to use the natural world as your inspiration for abstract painting! Hope you can join me on June 25 for Natural Abstractions at the Franklin Recreation Center.
