Hello Neighbor,

Join me for a relaxed neighborhood drawing gathering at Walpole Garden. We'll slow down, observe native plants up close, and draw what we see. No pressure to be 'good at drawing' - just a chance to connect with nature, meet your neighbors and let your mind quiet for a while. 

Come for five minutes or stay as long as you like.

Gathering Details

Sunday, March 22, at 1:00 PM

Walpole Garden Labyrinth

• All levels welcome

• No experience needed

• Materials welcome or provided

• Curious kids and adults welcome

We'll gather in the stone labyrinth for a short introduction.

I'll share tips on seeing and sketching plants.

We'll wander the garden and draw at a relaxed pace.

Note: This is not an official event of the city or Friends of Terwilliger. It is not a private event. It is an invitation to come outside and interact with others/me. I am an artist. What helps me deal with the intense barrage of hard news is making art. 
It is my wish to share this with others - among others. 
Together we are stronger.
