The Intuitive Eye Collage Workshops are open to
any one who seeks to deepen their creativity and sharpen their
intuitive response to the joy of art.
Developed by artist and mythologist, Karen St. Pierre, each of the four workshops offers a unique opportunity to explore your creativity through collage from both a practical and intuitive approach. The workshops are open to everyone from beginners to experienced artists.
Learn Collage Techniques
In each workshop, you will be provided with simple collage techniques as well as personal coaching in the use of color, composition and materials. You will be guided in the release of creative blocks with the intention of creating pleasing and meaningful collages. You will go home with at least one completed work of art and the tools to nurture further exploration in collage-making on your own.
Enrich Your Intuitive & Creative Sensibilities
Beyond the practicality of technique lies the opportunity to go much deeper with your creativity. Each workshop offers guided meditations to open the heart and promote mindfulness and non-judgmental personal acceptance, thus allowing you to approach your creativity from a quiet and refreshed state of mind. It is from this open and peaceful inner state that your intuitive nature is free to create in a
joyful and unself-conscious way.
Workshop Topics, Dates & Times
Each of the four Intuitive Eye Collage workshops offered at the Genesis art Lounge in April offer a chance to explore topics and imagery that promote a deeply intuitive approach to creativity. Sampler Workshops will be offered on April 11 & 16. Each of the workshops can be taken individually, as a full 2 session day or a rich two day/4 session collage intensive. These options are priced accordingly.

Join us for an introductory overview
of the Intuitive Eye Collage Workshops
Celebrating Your Personal Story
Saturday, April 19 10am-1pm
Family photographs, self-portraits and visual impressions of significant moments and places in your life are the focus of collage art that expresses your personal experience and history.
Bring plenty of personal images to explore!
Expressing Mood & Emotion
Saturday, April 19 2:30-5:30pm
Giving visual expression to a feeling or mood can be a source of great creativity. Here we will explore the dynamics of abstraction, color and composition and give playful expression to a range of emotions and moods. Collage exercises will be accompanied by music selections that will allow your intuitive muse to dance to the
visual rhythms of feeling and form.
Engaging Archetype & Myth
Saturday, April 26 10am-1pm
Deep within our unconscious mind, a world of archetypes informs our view of the world. Ancient myths drawn from these universal archetypes are still expressed meaningfully in the narratives of our daily lives – from simple advertising slogans to the plots and characters of favorite films. Discover the archetypes and myths that resonate for you and express them in collage. Bring a story or myth and/or related images that you find particularly intriguing.
Illuminating Your Dreamscapes
Saturday April 26 2:30-5:30pm
Your dreams are the source of your greatest creativity and intuitive knowing. Unfettered by the demands of the physical world, the images and stories of your dreams are the keys to your deepest longings, your greatest concerns and your most outrageous personal expressions of life. Join us as we shine a light on those images and visual ideas that emerge unbidden in your dreams and create collages that reflect your most intuitive way of seeing the world.
