Workshop
After 20 years of producing mostly tropical and coastal landscapes, Andrea’s personal life transformations led her to want to paint and self express. Instead of focusing enormous amounts of time on paper collaging and idealizing landscapes, she wanted 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 herself 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 or Andrea guided people to energetically paint and let out their personal dilemnas and work through issues. She realized her role as an inspirational artist and healer. This brought Andrea much personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
This was the beginning of an artistic heart attack. She was having so much fun painting all the 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 Heart Out”.

She developed “Paint Your Heart Out” opportunities for children to experience the joy of painting and developed Workshop Kits with primed hearts and packaged with watercolor painting sets for purchase. “Love and Paint Thy Earth” kits followed, and “Handle Your Freedom” (a butterfly), Handle Your Flips (Flip flops) and “Handle Your Heart, (a heart).”
In the Kits, Andrea advertises PARTY SETS. It is a Creative Project designed for Children’s birthday parties or crafty events. Here Andrea provides the materials for a larger event, instead of prepackaged kits, making it more cost efficient. These can be 20 Sculpted and primed paper circles for children to paint “earths” or other ideas that we can come up with together. It is an artistic option that parents can provide for their children to foster creativity and individuality.

The following Workshop Kits have been designed by Andrea Beloff and recycled from paper grocery bags into five (5) designs. They include watercolor sets. They make a great gift for a craft loving child. They may also be purchased in bulk as Party Sets. This would add a creative side project to a Birthday Party, such as 15 sculpted and primed paper circles for children to paint "earths or "planets" or other ideas that we can come up with together. It is an artistic option that parents can provide to foster creativity and individuality. Two week notices required for Party Sets.
