The Art Affect

Holding space for Hope… Compassion Focused Art Workshop in Houston in support of Art Exhibition “Art in War” with , co-currating with in partnership with Dougal Cameroon, Allen Fuller, and Christine Gabriel in the historic Eperson building. Amidst the beauty of the world… war persists as do the cracks and broken nature of humanity. As wars in the world rage on I remember and acknowledge the incredible honor of doing an very meaningful exhibition and healing informed art workshop this past spring in response to all atrocities through the many wars of past and current history as seen through the horrific story of October 7th in Israel, a land dear to my heart. As the anniversary approaches I stand with hope for a better future through compassion that crosses cultural barriers finding commonality in the territory of the heart.

Singing what I received in the moment… “Come with all the colors of your heart” … lyrical abstraction responds to sound - the start of our process where we explored new tangibilities of the unspoken but daily lived… we came together in honor of who we are and what we can be together.

And to the roof!!! Finishing this summer workshop three day series on the roof of the beautiful Gallery… Breathing in the view and colors of our hearts with an inspiring view of the Sculpture Garden of Yargos Kapris works and magical neighborhood. However the best view for me was … the people. New friends 😊

Prepped and ready from the heart for the heart…. The first workshop responds to the Fish Exhibition by Yorgos Kypris…. With a focus on compassion for the complex and beautiful journey our heart goes through every day in hopes we embrace ourselves and others for who we truly are. Here we give space for our own emotional narrative with direction and inspiration gathered from within, the land, and Yorgos’s Fish works that traces through the complex experiences and emotions of understanding life and death birthed from his own childhood experiences expressed through the beauty of the natural world.

Amidst laughter and joy we knew were apart of something special unfolding for the community of Santorini. 🇬🇷♥️🌺🙌
