“Stepping Into Your Story: Artmaking to Access Your Identity”

Workshop

with visual artist Cynthia Tom

Who are you? Why are you here and what for?

We provide an experiential workshop using intuitive artmaking techniques to access your inner stories in order to begin or continue your journey. In this workshop, using hands-on artmaking we begin to Explore, through discussion we learn how to Identify, and see how others Claim and use art to Proclaim their identity for healing and social change in the community. Our identity is forged by many seen and unseen forces. Take the time to discover, define and direct who you are with love and intention. While we can’t write your story in four hours, we can provide you with experiential and creative tools and next steps in defining and owning the power of You.

In Paris, one buys bread (to be eaten that morning) that morning, not the day before. Then, one would buy bread which are baked that afternoon for the evening meal.

The phrase “breakfast” in French is “le petit déjeuner“.

“Lunch” in French is “le déjeuner“.

“Dinner” in French is “le dîner”

In Jonathan Glancey‘s article “The Man Who Created Paris”  … In the 19th Century George-Eugène Haussmann completely redesigned and rebuilt the French capital…. Paris remains one of the world’s most visited cities, and of those tens of millions drawn to its remarkably compact centre each year, the Marais district exerts a magnetic pull.

Le mur des je t’aime  According to https://en.parisinfo.com/paris-museum-monument/71253/Le-mur-des-je-t-aime  The I Love You Wall is a work of art conceived by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito.

Every city, every town, has special meaning.

For now,  I go to Paris for Beauty.

May everyone find her/his place of Beauty!

Sincerely,

Teresa Jade LeYung

Dear Readers of http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog

I wish you all wellness and joy.

This post is to acknowledge the dear folks who have encouraged and inspired me as I made my debut as a Found-Object Artist.  Whether or not they were there in person, I humbly thank everyone as I go forward with a new perspective!

Year 2018 began with receiving acceptance of my application to be in A PLACE OF HER OWN residency program (created by Cynthia Tom) – an art-based healing and transformation series of workshops culminating in an art exhibition for women. http://www.aplaceofherown.org

A PLACE OF HER OWN is dedicated to fostering the long-term mental health and well-being of women.

Featuring 24 San Francisco Bay Area Women Artists answering the question:

“If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”
