Painted Key Art Therapy

Fun time facilitating today at Green Gables Winery! Thanks for having me North Grenville Arts Guild!

05/02/2026

I am leading a free workshop today at Art on 44 at Green Gables Winery! Come say hi, I will be painting en plein air, enjoying the grounds, and one space just opened up in my workshop at 2pm!

How do we nurture our roots and connection with the important people in our lives and heritage?

My art invitation today is to create your own "Inner Garden" with collage and mixed media. Trust the materials you're drawn to today, choose images and words intuitively, connect to yourself and let go of all judgements in your art, trust the process to reveal something from within.
