We can paint our dreams; the wind in our hair; the sun in our eyes . . .

We can lift ourselves up and find freedom and release through art.

In this workshop for Parallel Lines, directed by Amanta Scott, participants create works inspired by photos or images that speak to them in some way, and then effectively improvise their responses in paint.

After the workshop, participants came to see Parallel Lines, an interactive art installation featuring encaustic paintings, prison beds, a pathway of eggshells and a collection of keys to whatever we seek in life.

The painting pictured below is one of the early encaustic paintings in the project.
