Painting The Feminine

ONLINE WORKSHOP

NEXT SESSION TBA

Painting the Feminine Is a Process Like No Other, because it is uniquely your process.

In this four-week online eCourse, you will breathe new life into your creative practice, develop a unique body of artwork and begin to crack the code on your own visual language—all while strengthening your personal style and voice.

As an artist, my creative practice is my way of tapping into my inner guidance and making meaning as my life unfolds. I call my process Painting the Feminine and since 2013, I have been inviting artists world-wide to join me in creating their own Painting-the-Feminine practice.

In Painting The Feminine you will explore and define what Feminine Wisdom means to you individually, while exercising your hand-to-heart connection through a daily practice of painting and visual storytelling.

Praise for Painting the feminine

Claudia Olmos

What Painting the Feminine has meant to me is…PTF meant a journey with beautiful souls that allow me to express and feel comfortable in it. I am very happy for this experience that also opened more my feminine qualities like intuition, passion, vulnerability, authenticity, nurturing, etc. It’s been an encounter with colors, brushes paper and canvas without restrictions, a sense of playing and sensuality, discovery and mystery.

Bernadette Torres

Thank you Connie for your lovely teaching skills. This art adventure was challenging for me to open up to a new creative flow, as I have little to no experience in Art. I enjoyed the guided meditative tours to the places we spent healing and expanding our feminine power. I loved watching Connie move energy while she painted. The message I keep hearing as I worked on my own creations was to just let go and let it flow. I’m inspired to keep on this path.

Dawn Zichko

Intuitive painting has taught me to find meaning and abandon meaning simultaneously. Colors who want to be invited to the palette easily call attention, brushes dance on the surface, and I don’t make any plans for the process or have expectations. I simply let the image become itself, whatever that is in the moment. I am an Artist of Presence and Embodiment. It is my hope my art reflects these qualities.

Deb Acquino

What I don’t want to forget about PTF is how it proved that so many women from all over the world are equally connected to feminism and art. The sisterhood is strong and we always need to remember that we are all in this together through the creative inspiring days and the days that seem to just seem harder to connect with our inner selves. Connie is so inspirational with her words and art, and she helped me tap into places in my creative brain that have never been tapped before.

Sheree Matthews

Painting the Feminine was an experience of listening to the whispers within, the ideas and inspirations of my heart. This journey has supported me in paying more attention to my voice, my soulful core which had been pushed to the side, silenced and ignored in order to appear acceptable within society. There is another way. Painting the Feminine has strengthened my practice of embracing this other intuitive authentic way.

Eleni Livitsanos

PTF is about entering emptiness, spaciousness, formlessness and from there, drawing out beauty, presence and wisdom, like one draws nourishment from a well. It is a birthing of what the world needs into form. I am in awe of how very special painting the feminine is. It is an opportunity to know Self through connecting to source/beauty and then bringing that knowing into form through painting. It has informed how I show up in my life and then my life has fed back into my painting; and so it goes, around the spiral we travel.
