Workshop Designs
The following Workshop Designs by Andrea Beloff are made from recycled paper and will be available at the upcoming workshops. They range in different size hearts, projects where two people can co-create together and overall materials to create your own.
Loads of fun!
Andrea will ask you in advance or at the time of gathering to think about an intention which is dear to your heart, an issue close to your heart you would like to work through, or something or someone you would like to place love upon and energetically express that through painting. No painting experience required. Just bring yourself and allow the magic of expression to take place through art.
Sign up on-line and guarantee your spot.
We do ask that you arrive 5-10 minutes prior to get situated as it does take time to complete this fun project.
After 20 years of producing mostly tropical and coastal landscapes, Andrea’s personal life transformations are leading her to want to paint and self express. Instead of focusing enormous amounts of time on paper collaging and idealizing landscapes, she wants a more immediate approach and consciencious transfer of particular energy. In doing this, she developed a Workshop themed “Paint Your Heart Out.”
Interestingly enough, it came about after a Mexican Artist friend mentioned how he thought paper grocery bags, primed up, made for a good painting surface. Andrea was instantly thrown about how hard she works making her own paper and that here other artists are just transforming existing paper into art. One day she decided to try it. When she saw the lines of the bag still showing, she wondered how she could ever deal with that limitation. Her instincts told her to crinkle the paper and give it texture and as she did that, she started sculpting the inner part into a heart creating a bulged out shape which later she fills with bubblewrap.
Andrea found an outlet in which to self express herself and a means in which she and other people could paint an intention or work through feelings and emotions. She gave a few workshops and invited her friends, family and clients to experience this process. She witnessed people expressing love and passion through color and guided people to express and work through their personal dilemnas through art. She realizes her role as an inspirational artist and healer. This brings Andrea much personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
This was the beginning of an artistic heart attack. She is having so much fun painting all kinds of different hearts with different themes and of course this wasn’t enough. She began embellishing the hearts with sculpted copper wire and paperwrapped additions, gemstones, beads, string, etc… that she developed Part Two of the Workshop, “Bling Your Art Out”.
