New York Summer Series: Sue Pelletier

Last Sunday, Art was once again in the Garden.

This time we created, laughed and shared with Sue Pelletier who brings to the workshop table a generous spirit.  Eager to teach, eager to guide and eager to share her student’s joy when they create something special.

Invigorating weather and the magical trees, were a powerful backdrop to a group of women who had been waiting…waiting….waiting to take a day for themselves amidst their busy lives, to stop and breathe.

There is something very cathartic about dipping your hands into deep buckets of plaster

The mixing of glitter with paint leaves you breathless.  Bags upon bags of buttons yet somehow that special piece is discoverable only by you.

Unearthing words, letters and numbers with personal meanings.  They seem to just rise up to greet you when you go looking through boxes of treasures…

Creative joy is within your grasp as the day winds to a close and you grab a hold and don’t let go.

There are trains to be caught, children to be collected, meals to be prepared.  There is a world waiting for us to return.  But every time someone returns from our world back into their world, we know they take with them a piece of this moment in time and a piece of each of us. 

Art is… Family 

Art is…You
