Course Description

Join Cathy Walters to learn how to begin an art practice that is based upon creating a safe and honoring artistic ritual through paint and play.
During this course you will learn how to find your authentic inspiration and how to incorporate the good, the bad and the extraordinary of your life into your work.

Baggage…we all have it. Now what do you do with it and how to include even negative thoughts into our journal. You will not leave this course without diving into what will become your personal artistic mantra. This will propel you into daily practice.
