Saturdays Painting

Starting in 2017, I opened a small art studio called Libelle Creative Studio. The idea behind it was to provide a safe space for self expression through Process Art. This was a space for not just kids, but for women as well. Everyone was welcome in the studio- I just happen to have more women than men coming to events. Saturday mornings were Process Art classes for primary school children. We would paint, draw, and make crazy craft projects for the season. One practice I always asked was that we do not waste paint! After every class, for each year, we had a canvas only for the extra paint from our projects. This canvas represents each student, as well as my own marks, together on one canvas. This has layers upon layers of acrylic and gouache, with variations of marks and swirls. I seriously love this painting. So many full happy hearts are created within the canvas. As the pandemic hit, my small little studio needed to become an online entity. Memories are made by such small creative activities.
