Intuitive, or process painting, invites you to let go of a focus on the end result, inviting you instead, to move moment-by moment. It is a mindfulness meditation practice in action. Painting is used as a vehicle to explore the nature of creativity, along with the many ways that we stop ourselves. This process is a fun and enlightening way for artists and non-artists alike to: - explore and enhance your creativity - increase self-awareness - challenge your fears and find freedom - silence critical inner voices, and - learn to live in the moment There are no mistakes, and no rules! No experience required. Ongoing classes are offered, in addition to periodic weekend workshops.
