My Artist Talk was on Recovery in Mental Health through the use of Art-making. It was originally scheduled for June 25, 2013 but had to be rescheduled. As a result we set a new date, August 1st, 2013 and I spent a great deal of time invested into promoting the event. 

 

We wound up with a larger turn-out than anticipated which made for a really fun and intresting evening.

I spoke specifically on my own personal history of fighting manic-depressive disorder. I then explained how art-making has aided me most of my life. We had a brief Q and A period then I performed two watercolor resist demos. The first with crayon and the second one was with salt.

 

I have been asked to do two future workshops this fall at the Studio.
