Karen Cornelius will lead an artmaking excursion to The Leaf, the Winnipeg conservatory that features a tropical rainforest biome, a Mediterranean biome, and a butterfly garden. Having spent many hours sketching there, Cornelius will share her experiences by offering tips and demonstrations. You will have a couple of hours to explore and create before rejoining the group to share what you have made. Enjoy glorious hothouse humidity in the depth of winter and practise the foundational act of putting marks on paper.
Bring the wet, dry or digital media of your choice and a sketchbook, drawing board and/or tablet.
Karen Cornelius creates art about place and belonging. Her recent work is focused on environmental issues facing rainforests. She grew up in the Ituri Forest in the Congo, and her formative memories of the rainforest have fuelled her interest and concern for our rainforests and forests.
