Artist Residency 2024
Quinta Mazatlan- World Birding Center

Our painting group continues to grow and I lean more about what it means to share this process of meditation painting with others. At it's core, meditation painting is all about letting go of expectations. So many times we don't move forward with something because we are afraid of failure. When it comes to painting outdoors, failure to fully capture the beauty and intricacy of the scene in front of you is almost guaranteed. But what we can't recreate, we can still appreciate and learn from. As marks respond to beauty and movement and space, we engage with our surroundings and practice contemplation. We set aside the ego. We practice mindfulness. It's a practice I take into the rest of my life, with my children, my career, my adventures. It really is joyful and healing. |
