Up North Arts and the Friends of the Cadillac Wexford Public Library invite you to join us for a DAY with Ellie Harold.

Your art is waiting for you!

Have you longed to express yourself in paint or some other art medium?
Would you like to loosen up and enjoy your art-making more? Does perfectionism get in your way?

If so, this 2-hour mini-workshop is designed for you!

Prolific and widely-collected painter Ellie Harold invites artists of all skill levels (or none) to realize greater freedom in making original, expressive art. If you’ve been blocked, bored, discouraged, and/or or felt inhibited about making art, consider participating in this inspiring, experiential mini-workshop. Ellie will demonstrate her no-fail approach and give you 12 powerful practices that will energize and transform your ability to Do Your Art. No previous art experience necessary!

Participants are asked to bring their own mark-making tools—colored pencils, graphite sticks, markers, pens, paint sticks—and a sketchbook or drawing pad on which to use them, the bigger the better!

Space is limited to 20 participants. Sign up now to reserve your spot!

About Ellie Harold; author and artist, etc

In 2003, semi-retired Unity Minister and former critical care R.N. Ellie Harold, age 52, spent 3 sleepless nights listening to an inner whisper over and over, "Do Art, Do ART, DO ART!" She responded to the call by purchasing art supplies which, because she had no particular interest in painting, she placed in a corner of her home in the Atlanta area. The easel, canvas, and paint sat there for six months until one day she spied some orange tiger lilies and blue asters in her garden. She plucked the flowers and painted them and has since then created upwards of a thousand paintings, teaching herself the skill of painting with oils.
