Events

During the pandemic, I have been woefully neglectful of posting my events. I did a number of Doodling for Writers workshops, which I love doing. The pandemic has made me more attuned to the therapeutic nature of drawing/watercoloring and I have been sharing this meditative approach to making hybrid visual art and doodle poems in small virtual sessions. I will try to post the info on this page, but I am better about posting on IG @doodlescriptorium
