“Nature is art in living motion” says mixed-media artist Kim Papanicolaou.

Kim is inspired by Mother Nature to collect nature’s gifts (leaves, feathers, pine cones, etc.) and use these objects to design unique art pieces. Fittingly, Kim calls her pieces ‘Earth Sages’.

Creating Earth Sages is a soul soothing endeavor that helps Kim process the difficult feelings that arise related to what is going on in the world today. The process helps bring calm and shifts the focus to finding as much joy as possible. This creative activity is intended to help keep you grounded and connected to God, the earth, and to others.

Participants will collect meaningful treasures from nature’s gifts and Kim will guide us in creating our own unique Earth Sage! In the process we will soothe our souls and offer our joy and love to the world.

Introductory session today will be followed by the workshop on October 25th.

Fee: $40
Space is limited to 10 participants.

All my life, I have looked at the world differently and it has informed my art. As a child, I watched my father create glorious outsider art using all sorts of found objects. I learned from him, to ” just be me,” without fear of others judging my work. I often use things I find on my daily walks, or from a junkyard, as the basis of my work. Focusing on discarded and sometimes, unloved objects that have been cast aside by others, often leads me to new perspectives in how I view the world. I am self-trained through experimentation and a constant desire to just see how something turns out.
