A Spiritual Journey, Painting and Interacting with Trees, a Sensory-Motor Approach

Saturday April 26 10am-3pm

Celebrate Arbor Day and our tree city with a workshop to commune and maybe even hug a tree then go create art from that experience in the studio. This workshop develops our passion for painting and drawing trees in nature with insight and self-discovery, so that as artists we are better able to convey the emotional expressions of trees.
