Starting August 8 to August 29 @ 1 pm to 2:30 pm, I will be holding a four-week virtual (AND FREE!) writing workshop series called, "Ekphrastic Writing Workshop: Inspiration by Vermeer and Picasso". Ekphrastic writing is inspired by visual art in the form of an essay, poetry, or fiction. In this workshop, we will view and explore two world famous paintings,  one by Vermeer, the other by Picasso, and use them as visual prompts to inspire our writing. The visual prompts for the next two workshops consists of contemporary works of art.

You can write about the scene or subject being depicted in the artwork. Write in the voice of a person or object shown in the work of art. Write about your experience of looking at the art. Or explore the deeper meanings behind the visuals in the paintings. 

Ekphrastic writing is an enlightening and eye-opening experience! Most of all, it's FREE! I hope you'll join us.

You can register for the first session at: https://wcc-cec.org/workshop/wcc-public-virtual-12/2024-08-08/

Lovingly yours,
