Break free from your reference photo!  Join abstract artist Mary-Jo Lough for this transformative 1.5-day workshop designed for artists of all levels and genres. "Inspired by Instinct" invites you to connect with your inherent creativity and discover the powerful role your intuition can play in your artistic process.

In a warm and supportive environment, this workshop highlights that every artist, regardless of whether you prefer to create representational or abstract art, has the ability to connect with their inner voice Together, we will explore how listening to your intuition can enhance your self-expression, aid in problem-solving, and open new avenues for creativity. By trusting your instincts, you can achieve more authentic self-expression and make innovative artistic choices.

Through a variety of engaging exercises, you will discover how to embrace your intuition, allowing it to shape your artwork and lead you to new creative horizons. In this workshop, let go of perfectionism and the pressure of replicating reality; and instead, experiment with your unique artistic expression in a judgment-free space.

Whether you're looking to overcome creative blocks or simply eager to expand your artistic practice, this workshop will empower you to unlock your intuitive potential and create art that truly reflects who you are. Join us to unleash your creativity and experience the freedom of intuitive expression!
