In this supportive workshop, we’ll write poems, poetic monologues & stories in the morning- and read or perform them at night!

All levels welcome.

Charlotte Hoffman - “The California landscape inspires me. From the San Joaquin Valley to the Sierra Nevada, their subjects and colors beckon to be painted. Working from life and my photographs I capture the moments that move me.”
Phyllis McAdams - “My style is Contemporary Realism. My subjects range from the common object to the human figure. I want to convince the viewer that there is beauty and interest, not only in the obvious but also in the unexpected and not-so-obvious. My aim is to give ordinary subjects a fresh and contemporary look.”
