November 8th- 6pm-8pm
$50 + $15 material fee, light refreshments and a drink
Grab a glass of wine and discover the art of botanical drawing! Inspired by Jane Colden, one of America’s earliest botanists from the Hudson Valley, this relaxed, hands-on workshop invites you to slow down, look closely, and draw plants from observation. We’ll experiment with traditional oak gall ink, a historic archival ink used by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and in important documents including the Declaration of Independence. Along the way, we’ll learn a little about Jane Colden and the history of botanical illustration while creating our own beautiful botanical studies. You’ll create a collection of 4–6 botanical drawings that can be turned into cards, given as gifts, or framed and hung on your wall. No drawing experience necessary—just bring your curiosity, enjoy a sip, and have fun discovering the garden through ink!

Bio
Teaching art is at the heart of my practice! I am passionate about inspiring students of all ages to be curious, playful, and fearless in their creativity. Currently, I teach after-school programs at Cornwall-on-Hudson Elementary and Lee Road Elementary, and serve as a Freelance Educator at Storm King Art Center. I also lead workshops at Garrison Art Center and Woodstock School of Art, where I guide students through painting, printmaking, and mixed media explorations. My goal as a teacher is to create welcoming spaces where imagination thrives and students feel empowered to express their unique voice through art. In addition to teaching, I am represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery, where my own studio practice continues to inform and inspire my approach to education.
