Art is a language but instead of using words to tell our stories, visual artists use imagery. Following the path of our imagination, we will endeavour to manifest our world pictorially. Using creative visualization and guided meditation for inspiration, this artist's Work?Playshop promises to amplify our most creative selves.
Although each person's image will differ, participants will receive one on one instruction on how to describe their image and on how to use their chosen medium.
J'Anna Jacqulyn, artist, (http://www.jannajacqulyn.com) lives in St. Margaret's Bay area, NS.
Born in England, J'Anna was fortunate enough to grow up in a creative family. Surrounded by music, dance, theatre and paintings gave her a strong foundation for her own artistic expression. J'anna describes her early years as "a little crazy but loads of fun".
It wasn't until 1970 when she moved from Montreal , Quebec to Halifax , Nova Scotia that J'Anna become a serious artist.. Since then she has continuously worked to improve her skills with the assistance of such painters as Ruth Wainwright, Charlie Cooper and Zoltan Zabo, Tony Van Haslett and Charles Gruppe. In 1994, J'Anna received a BFA from The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
