Dear Friends and Art Lovers,

I’m so excited to be back in Salt Lake City for “Art in Pilar’s Garden” and exhibiting with the Pilar Pobil Legacy Foundation. After such a long period of distancing and sheltering in place, it will be wonderful to connect in person again! We begin THIS FRIDAY evening from 5-9p.m., and continue both Saturday and Sunday evenings. Come mingle with us in the beauty of Pilar’s magical garden, while enjoying wine and light refreshments and engaging with the art and artists. We look forward to seeing you!

Please spread the word!

Vision BoardWhat are you dreaming of or visioning into as we begin this brand new decade? What lights you up as you think about that? What do you really desire in your life at this time?

I invite you to join me this January 18th from 2-6 pm at Impressions Art Studio for my Vision Board Workshop as you ease into this threshold time!

We’ll use acrylic paint, collage & mixed media materials to create your unique vision board on a 16”x20” stretched canvas. When you leave with your creation, it will be ready to hang in a prominent place in your home or workspace. That way, every time you pass it, you’ll be reminded of what you’re really wanting in your life.

Take some time to dream, meditate, spend time in nature or just begin browsing through magazines, old calendars, maps & books. When you feel an intuitive connection to an image, word or phrase, just tear it out & begin your “Vision Board Folder.” Don’t worry about ‘why’ you’re drawn to something, just trust that there’s a reason for it. Stay out of your head & instead, remain in an open & curious heart space.

As we begin to assemble our Vision Boards on the day of the event, connections will begin to form & puzzle pieces will perhaps begin to make sense. This process is about tuning inwards & listening to your soul’s longings & desires. If you don’t have time to do this ahead of the workshop, that’s fine.

No art experience is necessary & all materials provided – $35./all-inclusive. Limited to 10 students. Please Venmo @Susan-Risse-3 to reserve your spot.

Happy New Year! 🎊
