Art As Affirmation with Stephanie Lee
Course Description
Join artist Stephanie Lee as you combine paper, paint, encaustic medium, and soulful exercises.
Being able to tell our most sacred stories and express or work through feelings are well-known benefits of the creative process. But what if your creativity is even more potent and alive when you’re ready to tell new stories, feel new feelings, or create a new life for yourself?
In this course, we’re going to impel our creative impulses to intentionally identify and create visual representations of what we want to feel, experience, become, create, and live. We will combine paper, paint, encaustic medium, and soulful exercises to conjure up beautiful works of art, rich with conscious and well defined intentions, that will serve as stunning reminders not only of your creative talents, but also of the desires of your heart that you want to co-create with Life.
The work you create in this course will be so much more than tentatively expressed, vague hopes represented with a few images. This work will radiate with the energy of clearly defined, soul-growing desires that you confidently lay claim to and represent through layers of writing and mixed media culminating in beautiful art that affirms your birthright to create the life you want.
