Creative Art for Grief and Loss

This creative workshop centers on the themes of Grief and Loss that participants may have faced in their lives. The 3-hour session will include a lecture and art instruction by Marti Koehler, an artist, art therapist, and art educator from Naples, Florida. The group will take inspiration from Artist Thomas Cornell's shadow boxes to design a mixed media artwork. Participants are encouraged to bring personal items or photos to incorporate into their projects. The art instruction will cover the use of collage materials and the creation of layered images that recede into the box, akin to a diorama. Participants will benefit from ongoing healing and self-care through a general discussion for closure.
