Happy [Chinese] New Year!

It is not often that I provide workshops, yet when asked by Donna Child to provide a workshop to welcome The Year of the Snake, I just had to say yes. I always have a fantastic time while at this beautiful gallery on the edge of Etobicoke and Mississauga.

Join me for a zen, art-filled evening as we celebrate Chinese New Year through the timeless beauty of Chinese Brush Painting. This introductory workshop is designed for all skill and experience levels, offering a glimpse into the centuries-old traditions of this elegant art form.

This workshop will be held at Donna Child Fine Art Gallery, Etobicoke, ON on Thursday Jan 30/25 6:30-9:00pm

Registration for this class can be completed will provide you with an evening of fun, social activity and sense of wonder. Let’s explore what the ‘snake’ has to offer for 2025.
