Uncovering Your Visual Language to
Unleash Your Hidden Art Talent
with Evie Lennon

Your artistic style is as unique as your fingerprint—but sometimes it gets buried beneath all the rules about what “Real Art” is supposed to look like.

In this playful, hands-on, two-day workshop, we’ll become art detectives, using exercises and experimentation to uncover the materials, subjects, scale, marks, and ways of seeing that naturally belong to YOU.

Whether you’re a beginner searching for your artistic voice or an experienced artist who feels stuck, you’ll discover how balancing discipline with play, and reverence with irreverence can unlock surprising creative possibilities.

Artists like Faith Ringgold, Picasso, Marisol Escobar, and Van Gogh found their voices by moving beyond convention. You don’t have to break every rule—you just need to discover which rules are yours to keep and which are holding you back.

Come spend two days creating, experimenting, and following your curiosity. You’ll leave with practical tools and exercises you can return to again and again to keep your creative fire burning.
