Sharing a little poem of mine in here with an invitation for anyone interested---

"When I write poetry,

I am freeing words that sing within me. 

I am giving life to feelings and sensations

that otherwise would exist in an abstract form. 

When I write poetry,

I am painting with letters that have imaginary colors. 

I am manifesting with each sentence

a new dimension that otherwise

would be unknown."

Storytelling with art and poetry is one of my favorite practices, especially during the winter! And something that I enjoy even more is to do this with experimental techniques using materials that I have handy and/or that I can recycle or upcycle.

Each piece is always unique, one of a kind with a very specific combination of elements and expressive components.  If you too enjoy exploring your imagination, if you enjoy navigating the depths of your inner world to turn them into a creative adventure, reach out to me via email at: emelinasart@gmail.com

I am looking to teach a workshop for mixed media art books with recycled papers and upcycled fabrics. The styles for this class are abstract and magical realism; the focus is on storytelling via art and ethno-poetics. I am open to in person in a local venue possibly at the Art Hive and/or as an online self-pace class hosted by my website portal. Anyone interested in more information and details again, email me at: emelinasart@gmail.com

Please share this workshop information if you know anyone who may be interested.

I have 10 self-published books plus a couple of unpublished manuscripts with poems I use/share in my mentoring sessions. 

Right now, "The Raven's Wings" poetry booklet is available for purchase on my website as a pdf e-book. CLICK HERE to go to my poetry page.
 

And I also have hard copies available for purchase from my place.  If interested in a hard copy of the booklet, email me for pricing information and details at: emelinasart@gmail.com

Thank you!
