Where words meet art in a harmonious blend of ink and imagination.

Emily Dickinson’s poetry is marked by its concise yet profound exploration of themes like death, nature, love, and the human soul. Her distinctive style, characterized by short lines, dashes, and unconventional punctuation, challenges conventional norms.

In this pay-what-you-can workshop we will explore how other artists have used Dickinson’s words and imagery to express their own creativity and inspired by Dickinson’s own phrases, we will seek to find meaning through our own unique forms of expression. All styles of expressive artwork are encouraged, including drawing, painting, journaling, music and movement. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just looking to dip your toes into the world of drawing, this workshop is designed to ignite your imagination and create a space for all to enjoy. There is no wrong way to do this workshop!

Are you looking for ways to relax, quiet your mind and inspire creative flow?

I will guide you through a short mindfulness practices before we settle into a relaxing, meditative, drawing session. We will focus on breathing and present moment awareness to create more ease and calm in the mind and body. No meditation or mindfulness experience is necessary.

These mindfulness practices are simple and accessible for everyone.
