January 27: A Walk with Monet…

When asked what the exhibit should call his painting of a sunrise, Monet replied, “Why don’t you just call it ‘Impression’?”  Thus the landmark painting was titled Impression: Sunrise… the name stuck and gave birth to a new art genre…Monet laughed all the way to the bank.  Meander down a road less traveled, waiting to be explored.  Back stories and insights that are sure to fascinate and inspire anyone, artist or art lover alike.

February 10: A Walk with Whistler…                                                              

   On finding, and holding onto, you heart-light.

Yes, we too often look without seeing, inhale without awareness…a script for a less than picturesque life. Through poignant, storytelling accounts of famous art-revelations, we’ll delve into the magic of living life large through art.  All art is psychologically responsive…have you explored the world of ‘Tonalism’?  We’ll learn how our personality can visit an art museum, how to hear our muse talking, and how to answer…(hint…it’s not in a text or a tweet!)  If you’re feeling the need to press your subjective narrative re-set button…today’s the day!

February 24: A Walk with Sister Wendy…

Enter the ladies…the Sacred Theatre of Art

Bill Moyers touted, “Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.”  Yes Virginia… you have a process!… Some days we just have to start at Plan B!  We’ll talk about how the Five Ateliers of Art can guide your work, shape a more aesthetic, peaceful, joyful life.  We’ll explore the ‘Walden Principle,’ creating our own subjective environments.  We’ll learn to write a private self-help guide to living.  Embrace our artistic temperaments and approach the ‘All Ahead STOP’ with purpose.
