Next Playa Painting workshop:
May  30th., see below for details...

Have you looked at my imagery and wondered what the designs are about, where they come from, what they are based upon? Curious about crop circles, sacred geometry, chaos and fractals and how those fit into my art? Or what they mean to you? Have a desire to doodle in the sand with one of my rakes and play with design potentials? 

Great- then you'll love the workshop I have planned!

As time allows, we will go into the following areas: 

  • crop circles- why are they so compelling?
  • the origins of geometry and its impact on spirituality and humanity, the effects of which are felt throughout our culture
  • fractals- the language of nature, the algorithms of reality
  • chaos- is the universe truly chaotic?
  • the development of my art through these various lenses and how they inform the latest designs
  • demonstrations of my process, from the geometrical designs to the organic ones
  • then we'll play with the rakes and do some practical group exercises
  • finally I'll present the design options for that day and together work on possible variations- have a hand in designing the image we will later create!

At the appropriate time we'll move on to the painting area of the beach (the one below the overlook above) and get to work. We'll have 2 hours to do our thing before the tide returns. 

I'm glad you'll be joining us, its a magical experience to see the process unfold- even more magical to be inside the design creating it!

I'm working on ways to allow the art to facilitate my capacity to develop it, meaning that if you have the ability to support my art through a donation, not only will you have my deep thanks, but I also offer some gifts.

With a $30 donation you will receive a set of 25 Playa Painting postacrds

With a $50 donation you will receive the postcard set + an 8"x10" print of your choice from among these options
