Art and Spirituality - Visionary art Series
8 week series, May 5 June 23
Wednesday evenings 6:30pm - 9:00pm
cost: $175 (plus $15 materials fee for series to cover basic materials used)
Location: West Hartford Center
Register: by April 28th to Virginia Lynn Anderson
This series will explore the visionary process of creating art. We will delve into methods to align your inner vision with your outer expression through movement, meditation and journey work. You will be working with a wide variety of media such as watercolor, acrylics, oil pastels and paintsticks. This class is more about process and awakening to your greater potential and less about technique.
As a self - taught artist and spiritual counselor, my art has taken on many forms. While I currently work in oil paintsticks, my 20 years of painting and spiritual growth have taken me many places in the creative arts field. I will share my techniques with you to help you deepen your experience of painting and expressing from within. I invite you to come play with me!
