On Monday, 30 August, twenty-two women participated in the final Make Art Monday of 2021!
Suzanne Conner lead the participants in Intuitive Floral Painting — a fun way to paint florals… colorful paint dropped onto yupo paper imagined into flowers, stems, and leaves.
About Suzanne Conner, in her own words:
“Born and raised in Florida, I love to depict scenes from our beautiful beaches, marshes, and the piney woods of our state. I am drawn to nature and am continually inspired to seek out the smallest of details for my paintings. I started painting in 2012 while I was going through grief therapy after some tragedies in my family. I have never looked back and will continue to go forward with the healing that painting and drawing gives me.
I also enjoy painting women and children as part of that healing process. I started out by painting memories of growing up in Blountstown, Florida. Catching tadpoles, boating on the river, catching fireflies in jars, these are the sweetest things that I enjoyed and have painted in the past years. It is a wonderful way to find yourself and to remember how much you have to be thankful for.”
We look forward to our next series of Make Art Mondays! Many thanks to Vanessa Zein-Eldin for coordinating this series through the St. Peter’s Artisans!
