Spirit of Play Art — by appointment

Interested in creating an abstract painting with your family, friends, or co-workers? Well, if so, here is your opportunity!

Since 2017 I’ve been guiding families, friends and businesses in creating their very own large abstract painting. I come to you supplied with a 48”x60” canvas (you can request a size suitable to your space), abundant acrylic paint, various mark-making tools, paper towels, and drop cloths. To begin, I provide an image-based, introductory talk on abstraction and then set the group to work in collaboratively creating their own masterpiece while offering constructive guidance along the way. Sessions typically last 3-4 hours. Once the group agrees that the painting is complete, I affix d-rings and wire to it and hang it in your location of choice. 

I founded Spirit of Play Art upon noticing an increasing disconnect among people in public spaces, particularly due to hand-held technologies. I thought, “How can I use my pursuit and love of abstract painting to bring people together in a fun, creative way?” After reflecting upon this question with trusted friends, Sprit of Play Art was born!

The results have been astounding, much better than I ever imagined, in fact! Even the participants themselves are awestruck by the incredible paintings they have created! I feel a deep sense of satisfaction when I witness a family or peer-group conversing about their next painterly moves and then enacting those moves collaboratively on the canvas. The process is equally important as the end result, and the paintings that are born of this process serve as forever reminders of a precious, creative moment shared.
