Society of Wildflowers Conference

Raise a hand if you think you’re not creative. Keep it up if, as a child or teen, someone in your life told you something about your creativity that was critical, stopped you, or made you feel that you weren’t doing it right. The thing is, EVERY human when they're born, is innately creative. Not a single artist creates art to make the object, because art is not about the end game, the actual key is the process. In this workshop, you will participate in “The Undoing”, creating for the sake of creating, releasing messaging, limiting beliefs and the weight of right or wrong. Projects will be created on wood canvas, using gesso, paint, paper and collage techniques, and hand stamping with rubber stamps. Your art piece will be created in layers, first expressing the messages, critiques or other statements that impacted your creative growth, which will be known only to you. You’ll then cover this in gesson, paint, paper and ultimately, identify and stamp your new action, what you will do, be it giving your self permission to create, embracing imperfection, or releasing the weight of the opinions of others. You’ll be left with a tangible art piece, representing your boundless ability to be creative, and a new way of thinking about yourself and your creative abilities.
