Aimee will share her passion for capturing the magic of everyday life and demonstrate how documenting these moments can become a lifeline for your own creative practice.
Together, we will embark on an exploration of primal marks, textures, and stories. Through a series of art practices, you will tap into your inner wisdom and knowing, collecting stories and setting up sacred spaces that invite personal introspection. Aimee will guide you in discovering your unique artistic voice, encouraging you to explore personal marks and textures that reflect the essence of who you are.
