Wild Heart Painting
Through discussion and painting you are introduced to the wonder of your
creativity. You will be guided and supported as you connect to your innate
creative source as a means of authentic self-expression. This powerful and
transformative process invites passion, play, and purpose. All you need is a
willingness to open your heart and explore.
The program begins with dialogue and the concepts that make painting for
process unique. Within the first hour you begin painting using a rich array
of succulent colors and fine brushes. You will discover that painting can be
a joyful sensual experience.
Elisabeth Keely Wilson captures the experience of the creative process and
describes it as, "Opening to the mystery of myself, I am asked to enter the
unknown and to follow my instincts. Hidden within the cloud of unknowingness
resides a presence which is constantly guiding me toward my true self."1
When you explore your creativity you may be surprised...you may be
delighted...you may be WILD...you learn to trust. Often participants leave
the workshop feeling a new sense of freedom.

Collage for the Wild Heart and Wild Heart Altar Screens
Express your creativity through collage in an intuitive process of exploration and artmaking.
As with all other Wild Heart Art offerings, no previous art experience is necessary. You will be guided and supported in an atmosphere of caring and sharing as you experiment and play with a wonderful array of materials and techniques. In this class participants absolutely delight in the magic of the creative process.
Most materials are provided but you are asked to bring a few basic supplies. They are: Liquitex Matte Gel Medium or Liquitex Matte Medium (your choice of small or large size), Liquitex Acrylic Gesso (small size), and Tacky glue or any size of another comparable brand. All can be purchased at Texas Art Supply, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby. Participants usually elect to bring their choice of a piece of handmade paper, origami paper, a fabric, or a trim in their favorite color scheme. If you like, you can share bits and pieces, making yours and others' finished art even more interesting.
You'll also want to add personal items to make it uniquely yours. Just scout around the home before class and find any small pictures, poems, totems, icons and/or sacred symbols that are meaningful to you.

Wild Heart Altar Screens are folding collages that can be placed on a table, or as part of a personal altar, and can be folded for storage and travel. They are an exceptional form of personal expression and can provide a visual reminder to connect to and honor that which is meaningful in your life. Many participants elect to create these in memory of a special event or person.
You will be guided in collage techniques to make your altar screen, so bring any significant items you wish to include. It is not necessary to purchase any other supplies for the Altar Screen class.

Wild Heart Art Children and Teens
The children and teen classes at Wild Heart Art are very different from traditional art classes where technique, style and product are emphasized. At Wild Heart Art the focus is directed toward the creative process where young painters dive in and explore their own unique creativity. Painters are invited to play, express and connect to creativity in a supportive atmosphere that is free of critiques, judgments and rules. As a result of this relaxed atmosphere young painters have permission to create without concerns of performing or producing. They are free to play and explore. A rich array of bright tempura colors and fine brushes invite true freedom of self-expression.
Classes are available to children ages 8-12 years and teens ages 13-17 years.

Gather 4 painters or more and arrange a time that meets your needs.

What they are saying:
"Painting for Process is a transformational experience, which keeps me present, aware and makes me feel better about myself."
Elizabeth Ferrington
16-year old student
"Process painting is life-changing. You cannot help but apply the process painting concepts to other aspects of your life. You truly begin to trust the process and perhaps, more importantly, to trust yourself."
Sharon Bartlett, M.S.
Private Consultant, former school director and public educator

Other Programs
At Wild Heart Art we are always adding fun new ways to express your creativity. Currently our other programs include Arte del Corazón Nichos (Heart Art Niches) and the Journal Project. We welcome your requests and suggestions, and will also design a program especially for you and your group.

Arte del Corazón Nichos (Heart Art Niches)
Nichos are small boxes from Mexico. They are often metal with a glass front so that a special personal or religious item can be displayed. You will create your own unique nicho with symbols, pictures, and words. In this program dialogue, inspiration, and reflection invite the heart to express what is meaningful, comforting, and healing for you. Choose from an assortment of supplied materials and bring any keepsakes or trinkets that you wish to include in your Arte del Corazón Nicho. It becomes your very personal icon that symbolically represents what brings you strength and well-being.

Collage for the Wild Heart: An Intuitive and Collaborative Process Journal Project
This special project of Wild Heart Art is a year-long exchange that supports each individual's ongoing creative practice. Participants select their own theme, make their journal covers, and three inside pages. The journal then passes throughout the group on a rotation schedule with each person completing art in each journal. At the end of the year there is a reception and showing of all the journals for family and friends to share in this amazing journey. The journal then returns to its original creator.
In the beginning everyone meets to go over the details necessary to ensure a successful program. Other gatherings throughout the year are fun but optional. Attending at least one Wild Heart Art program prior to participation in the program is required so that everyone has an understanding of the "process" approach.
The project that is now in progress will have a show in February 2007. If you wish to receive an invitation to that show or if you are interested in participating in the next project beginning in 2006, please email kay for details.

Wild Heart Art Mask Making
Throughout time masks have been important components of the ceremonial and spiritual life of our ancestors. While masks are generally thought to conceal the wearer, they can also offer revealing and regenerative power.
Connect with your innate creative source energy and make your own unique mask. You will be guided and supported as you animate your mask. As with all Wild Heart Art classes, we will honor the creative process as it unfolds. No previous art or mask making experience is necessary. All materials and snacks are provided. You also may wish to bring additional personal items for adornment of your mask. Please bring a sack lunch.

Mandala Heart Art
Mandalas are considered sacred art. Found in many traditions since ancient
times, the circular image becomes a pathway for self-expression, insight,
healing, and introspective meditation or prayer. Like other programs at Wild
Heart Art, you will be guided and supported throughout the creation of your
personal Mandala. In fostering an atmosphere that invites contemplation,
spontaneity, and creativity, you connect with the inner voice of the
heart as it incubates what needs to be born. All you need reveals itself.

At the time a national sales manager for a high-tech company's product line, she was seeking to restore balance to a life that had become overly work-focused and tried Nia at a friend's suggestion. In one of Kristie's first classes, a teacher encouraged the class to sense their arms floating towards the sky like blades of grass and to feel the warmth from the sun. Kristie remembers feeling awkward and laughing about the experience with colleagues at her office. Now a Nia devotee, she embraces the blades of grass and sun!
