This introductory, six hour class in two sessions, will demonstrate how to approach the preliminary stages of a "white" painting.

Are you in a life transition that could include marriage, divorce, career change, relocation, retirement, empty nest, illness, relationship, etc.? In this workshop, Laura will lead participants in a variety of creative exercises that help people explore the intuitive, imagistic right side of the brain and transform negative thoughts and emotions into positive, life-affirming responses. It’s an opportunity to take time for yourself, get playful, and reflect on your own personal journey in a supportive group environment. (No art, writing, or creative experience is in any way necessary. It is impossible to make a mistake in this workshop.) All supplies will be provided.

Creative Writing for the Visually Inclined
Are you an artist or art enthusiast? Everyone from the novice to the experienced writer is welcome in this course in which we’ll work with the art from both the museum’s permanent collection and current exhibitions to learn how writing can take us to previously undiscovered places within ourselves. Whether you choose to write in nonfiction prose from personal experience or in fictional flights of the imagination, you’ll explore writing through the use of visual prompts in a positive, safe, and supportive environment. Just bring paper and pen or laptop and a willingness to be open to the relationship between imagery and words.
