This all- levels class is for folks who are interested in self -reflection and perhaps discovering the beauty at the core of yourself. We will do some writing, read some poetry, and practice using different materials on paper. You will have the opportunity to use pencil, pen, charcoal, oil pastels, and crayons to create a deeply layered self-portrait. I will share strategies for quieting your inner critic and for accessing a sense of freedom in your art making.

Expect to get messy, to do some deep listening, to laugh, to be surprised, and to question your view of what constitutes a “good” portrait.
