Join me Saturday, August 29th, 1-4pm @ Café Pasqual’s Gallery for an afternoon of guided watercolor instruction inspired by my current solo exhibition, Wild Light. We’ll loosen up, experiment, and (re)connect with our wild side.

In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll slow down, look closely, and use watercolor to explore color, light, shape, and tap into the weird and wonderful ways of seeing the ordinary. You’ll leave with new tools, fresh ideas, a few finished paintings, and more confidence to keep experimenting.
BEGINNERS WELCOME

I’ve come to realize that painting isn’t really about making pictures. It’s about learning how to pay attention.
In this workshop, we’ll slow down, look closely, and explore how painting can help us see the familiar in a new way. We’ll work with color, shape, and light, but just as importantly, we’ll celebrate our own weird and wonderful ways of connecting with creativity.
Wild Light is as much about an inner landscape as it is about a brilliant horizon. This workshop is an invitation to find that same sense of wonder in your own painting, to loosen up and trust what captures your curiosity.
Wonder isn’t something we find. It’s something we practice.
