 Upcoming ZOOM Workshops & a few words about adaptation: FEARLESS ABSTRACT PAINTING (On-Line) SOLD OUT February 27, 2021 Arts Benicia Benicia, CA FEARLESS ABSTRACT PAINTING (On-Line) REGISTER NOW March 20 & 21, 2021 Healdsburg Center for the Arts Healdsburg, CA DISTRESSED MIXED MEDIA (On-Line) REGISTER NOW April 24 & 25, 2021 Arts Benicia Benicia, CA Make friends with change. 2 Days ago I watched a virtual gallery tour and I started bawling. Literally bawling. This reaction was extremely surprising, even to me! What's wrong with me? I thought. All I can say is that I felt a huge, overwhelming sense of loss. Loss for the "good old days" of being able to physically go to an art gallery and experience the artwork in person. The world has changed. I get it. We've all been forced to adapt. In my world, I have been resisting the idea of teaching through ZOOM profusely. My thought was that my teaching just wouldn't translate well on camera. Besides, I'm Latina. I love touching and hugging people, and working closely with my students. This pandemic has been a hard adjustment for me in that regard. So, I finally decided to teach my first Zoom workshop this Saturday in collaboration with Arts Benicia, CA. It SOLD OUT. So I decided to book a second 2-day Zoom workshop. This time, in partnership with Healdsburg Center for the Arts, CA. I expect this workshop will sell out quickly also. Here is the moral of this story: There are blessings and opportunities even in disasters and pandemics. I already know this! I guess I just forgot? The realization that I will be able to connect with students coming as far as Australia & Canada is delightful to me. "da silva lining"! lol Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with you.
