Sometimes you have a thought or emotion that you would like to explore and share with others, if you are a writer you would take pen to paper and write a book – but as an Artists you are able to pick up your brushes and create pictures to share.

This Workshop with Artist Wyn Vogel – will help you look at how to explore your ideas, and create an allegorical painting that will take people on a journey of their own, you don’t always have to express verbally your story – but let people explore you imagery and enjoy their own emotions!
