Mixed Media Abstraction with Latasha Dunston

Using meditation and journaling we will tap into our emotions in order to bring that expression onto the page using an array of materials. When we quiet our mind we allow space for things/ ideas/discussions to come up. A lot of times art can be a powerful tool to express those feelings. Having no parameters, references, or concepts to guide you, abstract art is raw emotion on paper and can be a beautiful way to release and relax.

Latasha Dunston is an illustrator, painter, and plant lover. She received her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts with a concentration in Scientific and Medical Illustration. When she is not in the studio, she is cooking up a storm in the kitchen, tending to her plants, hiking and camping , or traveling to somewhere new. Her love of the outdoors is a vital part of my identity and I try and share that passion with as many as I can to help show that the outdoors is for everyone.
