Creative Synergy – Celeste Dumonceaux Delahey

Creating together brings energy, inspiration, a positive view and a camaraderie that cannot be achieved while painting alone in our studios. Other words to describe synergy are partnership, cooperation, kinship, and teamwork.

The creative synergy within Artists’ Workshop has improved my confidence as an artist, and brought me joy through this group of new friends. I hope you can find creative synergy in your life too!

I recently sat in on a webinar about some new research on the topic of art and neuroscience being mutually supporting and enhancing brain pathways through the act of creating art.

Festive Fun At Our Artists’ Workshop Holiday Potluck Lunch

One of the highlights of our Holiday gathering is that members create greeting cards for each other and we exchange them after lunch. This year held a special treat. Kathleen Slavin showed her surprising talent in the realm of poetry and created individual limericks about each one of us.

Viewpoints – Monika Kinner

Viewpoints – Leslie Stadnichuk

Often my paintings come from a tiny blossom that is going unnoticed because it is tucked in and hidden deep inside the foliage of a plant. I love to draw it out and put it on centre stage.

Viewpoints – Pat Katz

I love plopping down on a park bench, on a streetcorner, in a café, and pulling out my sketchbook to capture the sights and scenes in a way that goes far beyond photography. When I look back at my sketches done on location, I remember the way things looked, sounded and smelled.
