Why keep an art journal?

If you are someone who journals, you already understand the benefits of getting your thoughts on paper. Doing so offers a way to de-stress and to sort through complicated emotions. As a result, you gain self-awareness and feel empowered.

Each workshop, we will assign a subject and location e.g. coffee shop, park, bookstore...etc. You will be following along with our Artist to paint the scenery or make adjustments & personalize it your way.

• How to Combine Painting and Writing into Deeply Personal Art Journals

• Join us for this special edition and paint Love At Sunset with Your Love Song

Use art as an expression to journal your thoughts, the love for your life, your favorite city spots, that morning coffee of yours...etc.

Join us on a monthly basis and each time add a new painted page to your city journal. Combine them with your favorite quotes, your thoughts...etc. Place your city journal on your coffee table to share with your house guests; convert the pages into a wall collage; or keep it personal as your diary.

We are especially reminded of our immigrant grandparents who would have had difficulty asking for help during this COVID pandemic because of language and cultural barriers.
