New Art, New Class & More!

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.
