Blu Moon Studio of Art’s 1 year Anniversary

// August 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Miami Art Studio

September 1st marks the date of Blu Moon’s 1st Anniversary! It has been so fast, and it seems like only yesterday that I first saw the space and fell in love with it. It has been a year of highs and lows, joy and heartache, hope and fear. Throughout it all runs a current of deep gratitude for having an opportunity to stretch myself in ways I never imagined possible. I relish the notion of being able to create something that is positive for myself as well as for others, and the community as well. It is a process that creates itself anew every day, and allows me the possibility of continuous growth and creativity. My intention is to continue to create and expand the concept of my studio and to invite others to participate and share in it’s evolution. Many thanks to all who have been a part of this past year, my students, friends, family, and business associates. You are all woven into the fabric of my dream , and have contributed greatly to it’s realization. Namaste, peace and love,

New Acrylic Painting Session Today

// August 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Art Workshop, Miami Art Studio, Painting, Sheri Friedman Art

I am looking forward to a new session of my intuitive painting class… Painting for Human Understanding. In this class you learn to paint expressively and intuitively…allowing your subconscious mind to guide your paintbrush… almost like a painting meditation. It is a very good way to relax and express yourself, while learning how to handle paint in a free and unrestricted way. I find this method of painting very beneficial because you are free of the pressure to make your work “look” like anything,… you are not trying to replicate something from the exterior world,  but rather, you are exploring and expressing the purity and originality of your own creative process. The results are beautiful and spontaneous works of art that speak from your heart. It is a great class for beginners AND experienced artists, who may want to “loosen up” a little in their work. Saturdays… from 12:30-2:00. Offered in conjunction with Open U.
