Karla’s favorite pastime and passion is art. Currently working in acrylic and watercolor, she has previously “dabbled” in oil painting, silver jewelry fabrication, sculpting, stained glass production.
About the Presentation:
We create art consciously. We use our conscious mind to figure out the details of art. But what role does the unconscious mind play?
In this presentation, Karla Peska will explain the role of the unconscious mind and how to access and utilize it in your art making. She will provide examples of unconsciously produced art and will give you an opportunity to create your own art unconsciously. For those who are interested, Karla will interpret the unconscious material in the art product for your edification and entertainment.
