Your Intuitive Colorscape

"Color is a collaboration....

of the mind & the world"

-Paul Cezanne

This 4 week course (with an added bonus week) is a passion project I have been developing over the past two years and there is no better time to dive into the rich, juicy magic of color than this transition from winter, welcoming Spring.

Consisting of a mix of traditional color theory and intuitive approaches that uncover the deeper dreams, memories, and desires to unlock to your unique color story, and a focus on immersive sensory color experiences, it includes: weekly group meetings via Zoom, visualization sessions, a workshop with guest teacher Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman, course materials, a booklet of pdf exercises, sample templates, and color palettes to explore. Thanks to photographer Erin Conger, the booklet includes textural, color-rich still-lifes I staged to illustrate the text and inspire color play.
