Permission to play. Freedom to explore. Tools to grow. Rules to break!
Would you like to develop or refresh your artistic skills? Would you like to work more loosely? More boldly? With more refinement? Would you like how-to instruction? Motivation? Inspiration?
This workshop is an invitation to expand your imagination, to explore, and to unleash your creativity under the guidance of lifelong artist and creative powerhouse Patricia Saxton. Patricia will inspire, help you break barriers, and share techniques for elevating your artistic repertoire. Beginners as well as experienced artists are embraced. Primarily using acrylics, pastels and/or watercolors, fun is encouraged, and getting messy is welcome! Your time together will include live demonstrations, insights, prompts and exercises, questions and answers, and plenty of personal attention.

Patricia Saxton
An equally accomplished painter, illustrator, writer and graphic designer, creativity is Patricia’s passion.
Her long creative career includes a lifetime devoted to the fine arts, as well as decades serving Fortune 500 clientele, entrepreneurs and everything in between, with projects ranging from illustration to branding campaigns to packaging to books. She is also the author-illustrator of an inspirational design book and three best-selling children’s books.
Fluidly shifting between realism and abstraction, her approach across mediums is both intuitive and disciplined, guided by an eye for detail, a spirit of originality, and a deep sensitivity for light and color. Widely exhibited from the New York/Philadelphia area to the Southwest, her works hang in private collection across the US and abroad.
Patricia finds continual inspiration in nature, imagination, and the process of creating itself—and finds great joy in encouraging others to explore their own artistic voice.
