About the Workshop
Over the years I have had to "re-boot" my creative energy after feeling depleted and uninspired. How do we find that thing that can revitalize us when we are burned out and have no ideas? This concept is especially frustrating to creative people who pressure themselves to endlessly produce incredible things. I have discovered that engaging in creative rituals can help to get your "personal computer" working again.
The Creative Re-Boot workshop offers mixed media art activities to stimulate creative thinking that identifies and breaks down creative blocks. Each participant will use their art making process and art work to understand their own personal recipe for recharging, empowering and creating. By being open to receive inspiration, this workshop will transform, illuminate and revitalize each creative spirit.

Moving Forward, Looking Back
This original acrylic on canvas painting is on a 36 x 36 x1.5 inch canvas. The painting is wired on the back for hanging.
The painting Moving Forward, Looking Back is one in a series of monochromatic paintings that explores the connections between figures in coastal settings. The monochromatic image is of a group on the beach as the day fades to dusk. The limited palette and the placement of the group in the composition creates a bold tension that anchors the emotional atmosphere. The body language of the group describes the harmony that developed while gathered for a time in this natural setting. Focus is reduced to monochromatic tones and simple thoughts of what was, what is, and what will be. A quiet and reflective moment is captured as a connected energy moves all figures forward.
My interest in social psychology is an inspiration for subject matter in this series of black and white paintings. The images convey a sense of self-reflection, personal evolution, discovery, and connection. A study of contrasts are a continued theme in my work and include the tension between lights and darks, calm and conflicted emotions, loud and quiet palettes, order and chaos in composition and textures. The contrasts create an energy in the piece which acts to stimulate and soothe at the same time. The simplification of the composition and palette creates a mood and psychological atmosphere that allows for a strong narrative. By combining these concepts I am able to explore the dynamics of a mere moment.

SUPER STARS II - 2023
This painting of synchronized superstars is one of two like it in a series of superstar paintings! I love how when all swimmers combine with a common goal in mind they can make the most amazing shapes. There is a fracturing of the swimmers and the water into pieces and parts. These pieces are confidently assembled into a star shape by the equally dedicated swimmers.
These superstars make it look easier than it really is and have such a combined grace that I love.
This piece is acrylic on canvas measuring 12"x 16". It has a sawtooth hanger and is ready to hang on a wall.
