Exhibit:
Expressions From the Floressence
- a collection of recent abstract floral paintings in acrylic by Amy Ferrari.
With the simple act of observing flowers, we have the opportunity be reminded of
the extraordinary positive-ness of life and living.
Flowers have the power to awaken our senses and awaken awareness of our
innermost beings.
The wonderful blossoms are a powerful symbol of transformation.

Abstract Art for Beginners in Acrylics - A 5 session workshop with Amy Ferrari
This is the perfect situation for those who love color and art and don't mind getting messy. No drawing skills are needed!
Have you ever wanted to play
in paint with all the wonderful colours, but were too timid to try?
Did you ever want to recapture the creative spontaneity that naturally flows
from most small children?
Are you starving to express yourself creatively?
This workshop is a wonderful
place to start.
In this series, you'll have the opportunity to fearlessly create in a nurturing
environment,
while learning about the language of visual communication and learning the
skills of creating with a transformative method.
This workshop requires no artistic experience, nor any drawing ability, just an
adventurous spirit and a love for colour, art, and fun.
The fee for all 5 sessions
together is $40.00 per person.
