MONTHLY MEETINGS

October 13:

Erin Leigh Boughamer -Calming the Chaos: Exploring Organic Abstraction

What happens when we loosen our grip on the outcome and allow intuition, experimentation and even a little chaos into the creative process?

Inspired by Erin's Calming Chaos series, this hands-on workshop explores organic abstraction through the interplay of opposites - loose and controlled, bold and quiet, large and small, textured and smooth. Erin will share how she uses these opposing forces to create balance, movement and visual interest within her work. Through playful material exploration, compositional studies and guided painting exercises, participants will learn to quiet the overthinking, embrace the messy middle and begin developing a more intuitive approach to abstraction.

Participants will leave with two to three small original abstract works and new ways of approaching the creative process.
