Welcome the beginning of spring with a peaceful, creative workshop that invites you to notice the season's first signs of renewal. Artist and outdoor educator Leslie Mathews, whose work blends contemplative practice with her background as an Art and Architecture Librarian, will guide gentle explorations of natural objects that reflect the fresh energy of early spring. Through mindful observation, expressive drawing, and reflective writing, Leslie helps participants slow down, reconnect with the natural world, and develop a grounding ritual that can bring calm to everyday life. Her nature-centered approach has been featured in Artemis Journal and in gallery shows throughout New England and Virginia.
No experience necessary. Just bring an open mind and a willingness to breathe, notice, and enjoy the season's first quiet wonders.
