I think we're all going to need to lean on one another more than ever during these challenging times. As our social services disappear, it's important to keep money in our local economy and keep talking to one another.This started as wanting to hold some art classes around town- but its turned into a love letter- a chance for people all over the city to come together, meet new faces, get to know a new community space or small business, support local and build resilience to handle all the chaos of daily life.I want to gift the city- my whole community, with opportunities to come de-stress and get into your bodies. Let's have an adventure. Acrylic painting is good for the heart and its good for the brain and its fun and low stakes. It's an opportunity to get out of your head and into your body and practice creative courage and relax.About the Artist:Angela Soliz is a fine artist, acrylic painter, educator and the founder of Gela Road, a creative resilience agency, who helps people uncover their identity and build purpose-driven lives from the inside out. Angela has 20 years of experience painting with acrylics and teaching. She is a teaching artist with Free Arts Arizona, an organization dedicated to working with kids in the foster care system and also teaches at The Drawing Studio, a community arts space and serves as adjunct faculty at Pima Community College.
