OFF-BEAT FIGURE DRAWING

Off-Beat Figure Drawing Sessions are monthly gatherings of first-time to professional artists coming together to create in community. Each gathering welcomes a guest musician to co-create with us, as well as a guest photographer to capture the sweet slow moments of the evening. We often times bring in installation artists, poets or writers to share their art throughout the night.

 This is a very inclusive non-judgmental community of likeminded open hearted people. You are welcome here.

I ENJOY OFF-BEAT BECAUSE I THINK DEEP DOWN WE ALL WANT A PLATFORM TO SHOWCASE OUR (PERCEIVED) FLAWS AND HAVE THEM MET WITH REVERENCE AND HUMANITY

I LOVE ATTENDING BECAUSE I ENJOY BEING SURROUNDED BY THE CREATIVE ENERGY, THE BEAUTIFUL VIGNETTES, PROPS, MUSIC AND PULL INSPIRATION FROM THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. IT’S MEETING OTHER CREATIVE PEOPLE AND SHARING WHAT WE ARE DRAWING THAT NIGHT, BEING EXPOSED TO SOME UNKNOWN MUSICIANS, PLAYING WITH MY DRAWING SKILLS, TAKING AWAY A WARM FUZZY FEELING THAT I’VE DIPPED MYSELF IN A BIT OF CULTURE, WHICH SEEMS SO SPARSE SOMETIMES IN THIS CITY.

Get in Touch

I love the experience of being around other artists, and all the various art forms. Just being in proximity to creative flow, charges and enlivens me. Shaping energy into form comes from a place beyond what we can fully understand...intuitive artwork .. unbound..can teach us a little more of this place. I think
I invite you to come alone, as a couple, or a small tribe of like-hearted to deepen your connection with self and source by means of an intuitive art making experience. The healing process of pouring into process without attachment to outcome is a beautiful way to deepen a dialogue within… to clear away blockages… and to commemorate a milestone in your own or shared journey, leaving you with a tangible visual mantra art piece to serve as a reminder of your reason for wandering.
I started painting the interpretation of the occasional readings that I would have done with psychics and mediums as a way to journal my experiences and messages from beyond and keep them close to me as visual reminders of the energies and messages that surround and guide me. Brush with Light was born as a collaboration offering between myself and curated light workers to bring an unparalleled experience to those wishing to connect deeply with energies beyond and have that connection forever woven into an original work of art.
